From the Kilroy for Congress Blog (hat tip UAPA):
Friday was a big day for us here at Kilroy for Congress. It was our honor to host Governor Tom Vilsack of Iowa and discuss the importance of ensuring that all Americans have access to affordable, quality healthcare.
I first met Mary Jo a few years ago at […]

from the Studebaker campaign:
On Saturday, February 25th, Dr. Stephanie Studebaker, candidate for U.S. Congress, joined 5,000 union members at Courthouse Square in Warren, Ohio for a show of support for Delphi’s struggling working families. On stage Stephanie was joined with IUE-CWA national president Larry Cohen, Ohio Supreme Court candidate A.J. Wagner, and Congressmen Ted Strickland, […]

This is worth seeing…over and over again. I’m a huge hoops fan. If you’ve read the about section, you’ve know where i grew up and can understand that. This story I first saw on a local news site and then again on Sports Center. It gives me chills:

I might be watching […]

The friendly staff at Buckeye Senate Blog has shuttered that project and opened up Buckeye State Blog. Good thing I can still refer to it as BSB because that has become serious habit!
Head on over and fire up an account!

BSB points to a good article in the Dispatch about Delaware Dems gearing up to fight. I’m a soldier in that fight and proud to be on the front lines. We need help, to be sure, and if you are in Delaware County please contact me so we can sign you up. […]

Tim got me thinking today. I blogged earlier on the Hackett “Hell Freezes Over Tour”, which was first seen by me in the PD blog Openers. The curious thing is the quick replies from the Brown campaign. Take a look at the post. Notice the first “counterpoint” at 10:03: “Brown’s […]

Damn…
from PD’s Openers:
None of the fight has gone out of Paul Hackett, who told a home-county Democratic audience Thursday night that he won’t do anything to help U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown campaign for the Senate.
“Not in my lifetime,” Hackett said. ”He spread rumors about my service in Iraq that were absolutely bullshit.
“Sorry, I’m a hillbilly […]

from the Blade:
The disgraceful handling of Paul Hackett’s candidacy by the Ohio Democratic Party shows that despite claims of reforming the party, it’s business as usual.
Mr. Hackett was certainly rough around the edges, but his message struck a chord with many people. I think many voters are tired of the smooth-talking politician who has become […]

I haven’t commented on the ODP Executive Committee endorsements, but you can imagine my thoughts on the issue. Much like the charade that was the installation of the new ODP Chair, this process gave me little to feel great about. Can you imagine this process if Hackett were still in? No wonder […]

Statement from his site:
As you may now be aware, I have had my name removed from the list of candidates for the Ohio 12 Congressional District. As a fellow Democrat, I have watched over the past few years how the political winds have blown. Like you, I had been frustrated by our seeming inability to […]

The Ed Schultz show came to Cincy today and Sherrod was on it. Haven’t even listened to yet, just wanted to get up.
Sherrod on Big Eddie:

Update: Comments. They talk about Bush’s visit. They talk about Rush calling him black. Ed does get to the Hackett situation, to which […]

David Meadows at military.com gives us some insight into the ousting of Paul Hackett from the Senate race in Ohio with a military perspective:
This February the Democratic Party showed true colors when it asked Paul Hackett of Ohio — an Iraqi war veteran — to withdraw his candidacy for the U.S. Senate. The Democrats want […]

Now this is how you respond to right wing lunacy. Remember my rant about the hateful and bigoted HB 515? Well, Bob Hagan has just put out a call for co-sponsors of a similar bill, which would ban Republicans from adopting. You heard me right: Ban Republicans from adopting! Precise […]

Well, the trend continues. I was quoted in The Other Paper that the Brown campaign was dismissive of blogs. I was talking about local lefty blogs and it appears nothing is going to change soon. Instead of reaching out to us here in Ohio, Phil de Vellis (yes, mr. anonymous is still […]
