HT BSB.

DailyKos diarist cbastian has the story of meeting Zack Space. It’s interesting, if short on detail, and not surprising that Space left a good impression. I quite enjoyed meeting him myself.
HT: BSB.

Laura Bush came to speak at a fundraiser for Joy “Terry Anderson is soft on Terror” Padgett last night. Unlike many Republicans, Padgett seems to be willing to tie herself very closely to the unpopular Bush Administration. Frankly, I think it’s because she’s showing her authoritarian roots.
In an interview after the event, Padgett […]

Boy, talk about showing your gratitude…
Reynolds said the criminal guilty plea of Ohio GOP Rep. Bob Ney won’t affect any other races in the country, and neither will Ney’s failure to immediately resign from his congressional seat. He did not echo the sentiments of the GOP candidate for Ney’s seat, Ohio Sen. Joy Padgett, who […]

From OH-12.us…
The campaign of Bob Shamansky continued to gain steam on Monday as the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) named the race for Ohio’s 12 Congressional District to its list of “emerging races” in this midterm election cycle. The DCCC Emerging Races list is made up of candidates who have taken traditionally non-competitive districts and, […]

Joy Padgett won the special election yesterday in OH-18.
She won nearly two-thirds of the vote in yesterday’s low-turnout election to take Ney’s place on the ticket. Unofficial results show that she received 9,451 votes, or 66.5 percent of the total cast.
Four other Republicans ran: financial analyst James Brodbelt Harris, who got 14.8 percent of the […]

SHAMANSKY CALLS FOR HEALTHCARE REFORM
Tiberi Opponent Joins Fellow Democrats To Unveil Plan
Columbus, Ohio: Bob Shamansky, Democratic nominee for the Ohio’s 12th Congressional District, joined Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-Toledo) and fellow Democrats on the steps of the Ohio State House to unveil their
plans for meaningful healthcare reform.
“The people of the 12th Congressional District know […]

I haven’t been commennting much on the Third. I’m still in a bit of shock over what has transpired (part of the vacation hole). Appears to be a two horse race for the nomination at this point. Thanks to blog regionalism and BSB, we have killer coverage. Len at Blogesque has […]

I gotta say, I just LOVE this. This is the kind of creativity I love to see in campaigns:
Before Chabot’s late-afternoon event, Cranley will be in Price Hill, trying to make a point about Chabot and his support for the Bush administration’s energy plan, which Cheney helped draft.
From 11 to 11:30 this morning, Cranley […]

Sounds so:
NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio Aug 8, 2006 (AP)— The leading Republican candidate to replace scandal-scarred Rep. Bob Ney on the November ballot may be ineligible, party officials said Tuesday, complicating GOP efforts to assure a smooth transition for the fall campaign.
Sounds like Joy is thinking green light, while a strategist rightie thinks otherwise via the […]

NEY’S HANDPICKED REPLACEMENT “FLATTERED” TO BE THE CHOSEN BY CORRUPT CONGRESSMAN
BOB NEY & JOY PADGETT PLAY “MUSICAL CHAIRS” IN CULTURE OF CORRUPTION
NEW PHILADELPHIA, OH — In a desperate move to stop surging congressional challenger Zack Space, Bob Ney dropped out of and pushed into the congressional race his handpicked candidate, who is also one of […]

So Joy Padgett is the prohibitive favorite to stand in for the corrupt and disgraced Bob Ney. Joy, as some will remember is the same Joy Padgett that ran what many call the most disgusting type of smear campaign against here opponent Terry Anderson back in 2004. This bitch is the most disgusting […]

Flags are flying at half staff as the right wing contingent in the Ohio blogosphere attempt to spin the fact that a corrupt politician was forced to get out of the game. Matt over at Lincoln Logs is apparently about to cry. Ney is a good guy despite the facts, blah, blah, blah, […]
