Full Story... →Nearly 25% of all registered voters in Cuyahoga County have already voted. In 2006, only 20% of registered voters did. Montgomery and Franklin County will like exceed their 2006 early voter turnout, too. [UPDATE: Montgomery County has exceeded its 2006 early voter turnout.]
In Cuyahoga County, 56% of the early vote turnout is registered Democrats. 23% of the early vote turnout is Republican. Cuyahoga may comer to the rate of early vote/total vote it hit in 2008 than people believed at the beginning of the week. Montgomery will has surpassed 2006 turnout. Franklin County is just [...]
Full Story... →PD reports the FBI is investigating the hiring of Bill Mason crony Strongsville councilman Pat Coyne at the Cuyahoga County Coroner’s office.
The FBI is investigating whether Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason forced the county coroner to hire a political ally, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Bob Reid confirmed the investigation Friday in response to a Plain Dealer editorial urging his office to take action. Reid declined to comment beyond saying his office has consulted with the FBI.
We have passed the Scene Magazine deadline, which reported in September that Mason would resign in mid-October and face [...]
Full Story... →I still get asked about the world famous McCain Palin Mob videos. Sorta like, “Where are they now?” Indeed, where are those morons of epic fantastitude who so proudly proclaim their conviction that Barack Obama is a terrorist? The undisputed star of Part 1 (which has over 2 million views and counting), the blonde who kept coming into the camera, was seen last year prancing around outside a Planned Parenthood clinic. Part 2, a measly 430,000. Sniff.
Part 2 gets some love today. Recognize this guy?
Recognize him now?
That’s Dave Luketic at [...]
Full Story... →Hilarious comments keep coming in from people who seem like Eastlake North High School alums or students or whatever, for whom it’s no big deal to scream “powder blue faggots” in a crowd, on public property, where they have no reasonable expectation of privacy (that’s lawyer talk for all you bigots out there), but now all of a sudden claim their reputations are hurt!
this video is an invasion of privacy, just saying. that stupid asshole woman who video taped this should be sued out her ass.
Aside from the obvious fact that you can video anything you see [...]
Full Story... →After the experience, the campaign, filled with conservatives who thought well of Palin, began referring to her as “Princess Sarah,” said the source close to the situation…
And…
“It says to me she’s not serious about running for president,” said a source close to Grassley, suggesting that a real White House hopeful would not have snubbed a figure like the senior senator in the state that begins the nomination process.
Sarah 2012!!
Full Story... →Earlier today, Matt Naugle, whose thoughts on all things Jewish are, to say the least, quite interesting, made a death threat at someone close to the governor. Here’s what that Tweet looks like now.
I’m told Naugle has been on a Twitter delete campaign today, erasing other brain farts that ooze out of his ass, too. It’s not the first death threat Naugle has casually tossed around online. Won’t be the last.
Full Story... →From Huffington Post:
A congressional candidate criticized for dressing in a Nazi uniform during World War II re-enactments is facing questions from his opponent about whether he is exaggerating his military service.
Republican Rich Iott is a colonel in the Ohio Military Reserve, a volunteer militia authorized by the state and overseen by the commander of the Ohio’s national guard units.
The (Toledo) Blade reports that Iott says in a campaign mailer that his experience helps him understand "the sacrifices our men and women in uniform have made because he serves himself."
His opponent in the fall election, [...]
Full Story... →Jon Keeling writes a post about Governor Strickland raising money in New York City for the Ohio Democratic Party and declares that this makes Strickland a hypocrite for all his talk about “Wall Street.” Because just like his old boss John Kasich, Keeling apparently believes that there’s only one road in NYC.
Apparently, the Carpetblogger didn’t know that Josh Mandel, GOP candidate for State Treasurer, just hit NYC on Tuesday for a lil’ R& R jaunt of his own.
And what “sights” did Mr. Mandel see on his NYC adventure? Well, he went to a fundraiser at [...]
Full Story... →It’s an election year in Ohio, which means it’s time for the national wannabe blog kingpins to fuck up our state’s politics. Yay.
We all remember Cliff Schecter in Ohio. Used to be one of our favorite Ohio bloggers. Now, Cliff is making a habit of being Jane Hamsher’s whore, and getting fired from campaigns all over the state, including Marilyn Brown’s doomed 2009 primary against Jennifer Garrison’s doomed run for Secretary of State. Recently, Cliff got fired (i.e. resigned lol) from Kevin Boyce’s state treasurer’s office. Why this guy keeps turning up like a bad penny is anyone’s [...]
Full Story... →Yesterday, I said that as of the 15th of October, the early vote breakdown in Hamilton County was this:
Dem-20,137 Rep-22,831 Non-19,382 Others-210
Yesterday, that got updated to show this breakdown:
The present breakdown is as follows (as of 10/19/2010):
Absentee Ballots Requested (incl. in-person early votes):
Dem – 21,143 (13,270 voted so far) Rep – 23,508 (15,650 voted so far) Issues – 20,568 (8,899 voted so far)
So we went from an 2,694 gap to and 2,365 gap in a day. Encouraging, but still underperforming from what we should be seeing. (However, a commenter [...]
