Ya know, when you run in a Democratic primary, you probably oughta not donate to Republicans so much.
Full Story... →Yesterday I posted about a Republican tracker assaulting Treasurer Boyce while screaming: “Can I get a job in your office if I’m not Muslim? Do I have to attend Amer’s mosque to work for you?”
Eric said he wanted pictures. Well here you go man:
No surprise here. Chubby white kid with a polo shirt and a backwards baseball cap. It’s like the meat head uniform. I wouldn’t be surprised if they included this in the job description…
Wanted: Tracker
Looking for something to do this summer now that all your frat brothers have left town?

Full Story... →Please. We’re dying to know. Which companies over the course of the past 16 years did you advise to leave Ohio and take their jobs with them? The media might take note that 3/4 of this time Governor Strickland was not the Governor and those 12 years were firmly in the hands of Republicans. So Mary Taylor is essentially saying her own party is responsible for the dire situation the state is in – or at least 75% responsible.
Small biz owner and Ohioan Chuck Hootman not only wants to know how many companies John Kasich’s running mate [...]

Full Story... →I posted earlier about the abrupt silence after the Kasich-Daniels event in Cleveland. I guess the hits just keep on coming as it relates to Kasich’s latest #failweek:
Republican gubernatorial candidate John Kasich drew a crowd of about 150 people to his afternoon campaign event Thursday at Zinc Restaurant’s outside patio on Euclid Avenue downtown.
Flanked by his running mate, State Auditor Mary Taylor, Northeast Ohio businessman Ed Crawford, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and others, Kasich complained that Ohio’s business climate is driving people out of Cleveland and out of the Buckeye State.
But it [...]
Full Story... →I heard a crazy story today. It involves the race for Ohio Treasurer which is normally pretty boring but has has been surprisingly insane this year due to Josh Mandel’s bizarre campaign strategy: racism and religious intolerance.
I can’t confirm this story since I wasn’t there but it comes from a pretty reliable source so I’m going to post it anyway. It goes something like this:
An ORP tracker at the SEIU Solidarity Day event in Cleveland today came after Treasurer Boyce, camera in hand, screaming: “Can I get a job in your office if I’m not Muslim? Do I [...]
Full Story... →Boy. That was a quick disappearing act. Just yesterday our carpetblogging friend MC Scrappydoo was all excited about the big Kasich-Mitch Daniels event in Cleveland. I mean there were even tweets. Lots of them. And more even!
Today? No posts. No tweets. It’s as if the event never even happened!
You may ask yourself why. Well, lemme tell you. Couple reasons.
1. Team Strickland completely punked Team Kasich by timing a press conference outlining how John Kasich lied about his pitching investments to pension funds in Ohio while he was a director [...]
Full Story... →Since we uncovered who he was last year I’ve often wondered what – despite being a carpetblogging sycophant for his former boss John Kasich – Jon Keeling is trying to do with his MC Scrabblerap blog. I mean at first you dupe WaPo into naming you “one of Ohio’s best political blogs” or whatever, then you claim to be filling some kind of void:
What void would that be, Jon? I mean there were plenty of righty blogs in Ohio. Do they all suck? We think so, but how about you? Did you think they were incapable [...]
Full Story... →Wow. This is just…bad. What happens when your only line of attack against your opponent is completely undercut by your running mate at an event that you’ve been promoting relative to this very important issue for weeks?
Well. Let’s just say there may have been a run on Depends undergarments down on Gay Street this afternoon. They’re shitting themselves down at Kamp Kasich.
So over the course of her 16 years she cost Ohio how many jobs? I wonder if someone ought to do the math on that one instead of figuring out how many times Jimmy Stewart may [...]
Full Story... →Today, the Washington Post’s Chris Cilliza noted in his latest update of his “The Fix” blog that the Governor’s race in Ohio is no longer one of the top fifteen competitive races in the nation.
Not a good reaction to Kasich’s first campaign ad and the RGA’s concentrated spending. The last time Cilliza listed the race on The Line it was at the bottom and noted that Strickland was rebounding and landing some strong attacks on Kasich early… that was back in late May.
As much as the Carpetblogger likes to talk about the DGA’s ads, I can’t [...]
