Update: It appears the offending comments were removed and a post calling for commentary to be “toned down”. Tone down. I like that one. I wonder if the IP has been blacklisted or the identity of the idiot will be made public?
Something is amiss at this thread over at Right Angle […]

Seems we are getting to Ken, as are the most recent poll numbers (he’s gettin’ hammered!). At his blog:
Left-Wing Nut Cindy Sheehan Opposes Ken Blackwell
So Cindy Sheehan is taking her crusade to Ohio to oppose Ken Blackwell’s candidacy. Her tactics and rhetoric should even make the whiney group of liberals at […]

I’m not sure if it’s an April Fool’s joke, but it seems everybody and their brother scheduled something for tomorrow. I’m trying to figure out how to divide up the time and also keep my family sane. Hopefully I’ll be able to get out and walk a bit.
When: Saturday, April 1st […]

Really? Really.
It seems the grey blob (could they NOT find a photo of Ms. Sherrod Brown, the black Congressman from Ohio?) is leading by a good clip now - 9 points.

Strickland still leads all, but Flannery is putting out press that Strickland is in trouble due to his lead slipping. […]

Paul was featured in Cincy’s CityBeat, where he does the usual routine of pointing out things Dem leadership needs to pay attention to. Whether or not they will is up for debate. I’m guessing no:
Hackett sneers at what he heard from Hamilton County Democratic Chair Tim Burke and other party leaders […]

I just added a new link to the blogroll - Faithful Ohio. I did so because I think what is discussed there and what should be discussed here and on other blogs is the taking back of religion from the extreme right and reclaiming the true meaning of Christian faith. I grew up […]

First is Redfern:
“I have never felt more ashamed of my church than I do today,” said Rep. Chris Redfern of Catawba Island, a Catholic and chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party. House Democrats tried to return the look-back provision to Senate Bill 17, but majority Republicans defeated it in a party-line vote.
Then there is […]

Wow. Unreal how simple and resonating this ad is. Too damned bad networks won’t run it!

This is precisely what I’m talking about when I say Dems need to reframe God and religion. Would this ad not resonate with those of faith in terms of the many issues the right uses against us?
Update: […]

Is anyone else sick of the Bush speeches in front of repetitive phrase wallpaper?

…but how loudly will he sing?
MIAMI, Florida (CNN) — Disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff was sentenced Wednesday to five years and 10 months in prison for a Florida fraud case.
That’s a shame…

I read Pho’s coverage of the Sheehan appearance yesterday and gritted my teeth. I read Tim’s praise this morning and began hammering on keys.
First, I value both voices, but sense there are times that Pho and I diverge - sometimes quite drastically. Still, the voice is valued, even when our positions […]

You’ve already got one of the worst political ads I’ve seen EVER. Don’t continue the mediocrity by sending out press releases containting endorsements from famous football coaches. Or do - I do need more humor in my life.
LEGENDARY FOOTBALL COACH ENDORSES FLANNERY FOR
GOVERNOR, APPEARS IN STATEWIDE PHONE MESSAGE

Husted and GOP “leaders” sell out the kiddos:
Abusive priests get legal break
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Victims of sex abuse by priests were livid yesterday after majority Republicans in the Ohio House closed a oneyear window that would have allowed the victims to sue for abuse that occurred up to 35 years ago.
Why you ask? Well […]

George Will weighs in on the Senate race in Ohio and pretty much completely misses the point on trade. I mean Dick Cheney quail hunting misses.
A serious student of trade policy, Brown notes that the trade deficit for 1992 was $39 billion, but was $724 billion last year. He wants U.S. […]

Kudos to Drew and Bob for deserved recognition. Several of us Ohio bloggers have noted since it launched that the Shamansky site was one […]
