It’s about time someone stopped letting Blackwell blame everyone else…
From yesterday’s WSJ: 
Ohio GOP’s Blackwell Has Hand in His Own Problem
October 26, 2006; Page A19
Jason Riley’s Oct. 19 editorial-page commentary “Ohio’s Fall Guy” immediately brought to mind a familiar plank of Republican thinking and a regular theme of your editorial page. That concept is “personal responsibility.” Mr. Riley assumes […]

As tons and tons of great news pours in for liberal and progressive voters in Ohio, I find myself more and more disgusted with politics.
First, Strickland continues to pull away from the divisive Ken Blackwell, and the result we get is some really sleazy mudslinging from not just “conservative” bloggers, but from Blackwell’s campaign and […]

With considerable buildup, courtesy of Rush Limbaugh, actor Michael J. Fox will appear in Columbus on Monday with Sherrod Brown. Fox, who has Parkinson’s disease, supports using federal dollars to expand stem cell research. So does Brown, the Ohio Democrat running for U.S. Senate.
Incumbent Republican Sen. Mike DeWine stands with President Bush in opposing […]

From last Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher…

I don’t think there is a single thing that comes out of the Ohio GOP office that is in the least bit true.
It is not surprising that Sherrod Brown is enlisting the help of a Hollywood liberal, who like him, is so far out of the mainstream of Ohio values. What is troubling is that […]

TASERing children? Really?
Take Back Cincinnati has the scoop.

Nice endorsement from Suburban New Papers here in central Ohio. The papers reach more than 185,000 households.
Although this is Shamansky’s first run for public office in more than 20 years, he still shows a firm grasp of the challenges facing the nation. If Democrats win control of the House on Nov. 7, Shamansky will […]

I can’t say I’m surprised, but polling shows Arab-Americans strongly support Democratic candidates.
“There’s clearly a trend in the Democratic direction and that shows up not only in head to head races, but also in the issues,” said James Zogby. John Zogby pointed out that this constitutes a significant shift, adding, “From 1996 to 2006, there’s […]

OVERVIEW
A report released yesterday ( Ohio college tuition 2nd in nation) reveals that tuition costs at Ohio universities is ridiculously high compared to other states.
When asked what Candidate for Governor Ken Blackwell would do about it, Carlo Loparo, Blackwell’s Campaign Spokesman, gave this cryptic response: “What we see is a variety of redundancies among […]

Oh. My. God. These guys just linked to a story from the National Enquirer in order to continue perpetuating the “Strickland is Gay” libel.
These guys are now so unrelevant I think I’m going to remove their feed from my aggregator.

Yee Haw!

I wrote this post yesterday, but had decided to hold it until today. In the interim, the blogosphere has absolutely blown up with this ad, and Rush Limbaugh’s terrible “he’s acting” slur.

The choice is discarding extra embryos from IVF procedures, or using them to conduct research that might lead to a cure for terrible […]

Apparently, US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has become a dirty hippie.
U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Tuesday he believes some of the U.S. actions in its war on terror have done damage to the image of the United States abroad, particularly its commitment to the rule of law.
Whatwhatwhat? I thought even mentioning that our […]
