Cindy Lazarus has a new TV commercial …

It’s a positive, straightforward ad that highlights her experience.
Of course, the O’Grady people immediately issued a nasty and negative response claiming that the statements in Cindy’s ad are not “the truth”.
For example, they claim she was not a “respected judge” because she has not been a judge since […]

Both campaigns seem to be taking advantage of online advertising targeting Ohio voters. For example, a search in Google for “Ohio Democratic Primary” returns two sponsored ads in the corner: one for Hillary and one for Barack.

But the Obama people are taking it a step further with really flashy ad I just saw […]

The BuckeyeStateBlog has the latest Hillary ad this morning and it is just jaw dropping the level to which she is stooping now as we near the March 4th firewall. Inevitability didn’t work. Retooling to “Change” didn’t work. Finding her voice didn’t work (not totally). Bullshit plagiarism charges didn’t work. […]

A new Survey USA poll asks Ohioans “Do you approve or disapprove of the job Ted Strickland is doing as Governor?”
Overall he’s at 51% - which isn’t too bad.
But this poll show something really interesting: a surprisingly huge drop in support from African Americans:
34% approve
56% disapprove
In the same poll back in early January, Ted’s […]

Texas Democrats are worried about rumors that Hillary’s campaign may plan to sue the Texas Democratic Party over their complicated process for selecting delegates.
They are so worried, in fact, that Chad Dunn, a lawyer for the party, sent out a letter to both campaigns warning them that legal action against the state party “could prove […]

My wife says McCain sounds like Casey Kasem. I think that’s kinda funny. Not as funny as this, though. I only really mention the McCain thing as an excuse to post this video. Warning: Parental Advisory. Strong language. Don’t play this in an office setting without headphones. […]

The numbers are coming in and they are breathtaking. It looks like the strategic loan - source of which we will probably never know - made by Hillary Clinton paid off in that it had the desired affect of getting snoozing supporters to write checks. They all had a collective “oh shit” moment […]

I will be in Boston on March 4 for a trade show. But I got my vote in the hopper this afternoon. I hear this early voting thing is quite the rage. Hopefully the numbers will be huge. I’ve also been hearing of some discrepancies in what poll workers are trained […]

BLF takes on AT&T:

AT&T initially downplayed its heroic efforts in the War on Terror, preferring to serve in silence behind the scenes. “But then we realized we had a PR win on our hands,” noted AT&T V.P. of Homeland Security James Croppy. “Not only were we helping NSA cut through the cumbersome red tape of […]

I know our friends on the political right live in perpetual fear of the dark skinned Muslims blowing them up. I’ve personally taken a lot of heat for repeatedly pointing out that overwhelmingly Muslims are not terror-supporting radicals. I was, of course, correct.
“Religion is an important part of life for the overwhelming majority […]

It’s often claimed by those who oppose immigration (illegal or not) that immigrants commit crime at an alarming rate and are a threat to public safety. Turns out, it isn’t true.
People born outside the United States make up about 35 percent of California’s adult population but account for about 17 percent of the adult […]

At least, the CEO of the Orange County Register is for Obama.
Both men cited the teachings of various libertarian heavyweight philosophers, most notably John Stuart Mill, whom I heretofore believed to be an inventor of breakfast cereals. There was some back-and-forth over the practical vs. the philosophical approach to politics, and Flanders said that in […]

Description of the new ad from Hillary’s campaign: “Ohio Governor Ted Strickland says we need a president who will be a fighter — and that’s how he sees Hillary Clinton”

HT to Andrew Sullivan; a WWII poster denouncing torture.

Oh, how far we’ve fallen.

No seriously. We’d own Ohio too if it were available. Thought about sarcasm and hilarity, but politics will do for now.
Update: Guess who owns President? Yep. You guessed it.
