STRICKLAND: BLACKWELL SHOULD RESPECT THE FAITH OF ALL OHIOANS
Columbus, Ohio–Ohio gubernatorial candidate Congressman Ted Strickland today released the following statement:
Last week, Ken Blackwell was in Toledo speaking to a group of local Republicans.
The Toledo Blade reported on his speech: “Democrats, he added, ’still believe that government is God, and God is not.’ ”
No one would […]

I use the term “wingnut republican” for a reason. I think most sensible Republicans are coming to terms with the Iraq disaster. Not only that, most sensible Republicans also appear to be coming to terms with being Independent voters.
The WaPo gives us a look inside the US Embassy in Iraq:
Hours before […]

Imagine the Ohio GOP saying one thing and doing another? Hard to believe, right? I’m sure you’ve all heard about the “evil outside interests” that are invading Ohio on the left. Well, not so much. Let’s separate fact from fiction, as it relates to the governor’s race. The Plain Dealer […]

Wow. This Dispatch story deals mostly with Republican efforts to keep Charles Morrison off the ballot, but this line just jumped right out of the laptop:
The biggest contradiction of all is that Morrison, a self-described anti-abortion, anti-tax conservative, wouldn’t mind a Kilroy victory one bit. Republicans have raised the nation’s debt so high, he […]

…and he’s plenty mad, folks. Some might try to dismiss him as just another “angry Democrat”. If you’re not mad about the direction your country is going in, then you just aren’t paying attention. That, or you write a GOP talking point blog. Some might try to dismiss him as “too […]

Well, we did it before, so let’s do it again! Thanks to all who helped get Stephanie to this point. I just got a note from the campaign:
I’m writing to let all of you know that it has been confirmed, Stephanie Studebaker has advanced to the final round of DFA’s Grass-roots All-Star competition. […]

Jerome Armstrong is the latest of the Big Box Bloggers to be shamed. First we had the vitriolic Armando who was outed as a corporate lawyering shill for WalMart, now we have Jerome who apparently was a pump and dump kid back in the day. Chris at OH02 has about the best take, […]

For the last time people! SPELLCHECK! How embarassing is this? The last few frames in Deborah “De Boar” Pryce’s new ad spells her name wrong: Deboarah. Wow. What a fitting capstone to a week of shooting fish in a barrel. It really has become too easy. I […]

OK, so here is the latest smackdown from the GOP wingnut blogger world: Democrats, close your eyes!:

Another blow to the ODP’s “Ohio Sucks” campaign. More jobs are coming to Ohio: About 120 of 320 jobs at a plant that produces water pumps for automobiles will be moved to newer plant in Ohio […]

Attention black Ohioans who might vote for Ken Blackwell just because of the color of his skin (and he’s counting on it you can bet):
(Openers) Representatives of voter-registration organizations that work almost exclusively in urban, black neighborhoods hammered Ken Blackwell at a Statehouse news conference today, accusing the black secretary of state of attempting to […]

I’m hearing that the nationals are getting a bit leery of the flip flop waffler as well. It seems the Republican Governors Association is not supporting old Taftwell like you think they might. In fact, they might not be supporting him at all.
It would make sense for them to distance themselves […]

Wow, the ORP has truly lost it. Their latest post “To the lefty bloggers” is hilarious. I mean side splitting hilarious. Can you imagine the uproar among the wingnut blogs if the ODP had to resort to responding to their blogs by posting a “To the right wing bloggers” post?
I’m […]

Says Debates Should Include Questions
Columbus, Ohio - The Strickland for Governor Campaign today announced it is committed to multiple debates that have been proposed to both campaigns by independent organizations and media.
The campaign proposed four debates - one each month starting in July.
“We are committed to sitting down with the Blackwell […]

Just days ago the wingnut blogosphere in Ohio was jumping up and down at an opportunity to use the 2004 line “I voted for it, before I voted against it” line. Most are stuck in 2004 - surely Lincoln Legos boy is (see latest post).
So, the argument was that Ted voted against […]

So this am I see this post trying to wrestle Mr. Flip Flop Taftwell back on the wingnut wagon. I begin to shred it, until I see Modern Esquire had saved me the work!
As a reminder:
Ken Blackwell in January:
Q: If Roe v. Wade were to be overturned, would you sign a law that would […]
