Duncan Hunter is running “issue ads” in NH to introduce himself to the voters there. This is obviously against federal campaign finance laws- and people will complain- but if recent elections are any indication of the consequences- then the complaining will lead nowhere.
We saw this type of crap in Ohio last year with Ken […]

I’m still sorting thru the mess this morning, but here is what we know:
It looks like OH18 will be the [i]only[/i] House seat to flip in Ohio, despite the nearly 30 seat landslide nationwide. Chabot won reelection in OH01, Mean Jean looks pretty likely to hold on in OH02, and it looks like Pryce […]

According to SOBAlliance.
COLUMBUS – Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell recently called opponent Ted Strickland and conceded the election.
Following are Blackwell’s comments to Strickland:
“Ted, you ran a good race and have won a tremendous opportunity to lead the people of this state to better days, a stronger economy and a higher quality of life. Congratulations […]

It appears likely - tho only one has been called - that three House seats in Indiana will flip to Dems. It appears that 1 of 2 key races in Kentucky will flip. Additionally, Democrats have picked up two Governor seats (OH and MA).
About 15 minutes until we start seeing more Ohio results.

According to CNN, Strickland has won the gubernatorial race (you folks in Cleveland, don’t let this keep you from voting!), and Issue 2 (minimum wage) has passed.

This is a good one. In response to Blackwell touting the endorsement of the Call and Post (Don King’s newspaper!):
I wonder how many blacks have been polled and hid the fact that they support Ken?
Tug those tin-foil hats on a little tighter, RABid! It’s election time!

From yesterday’s Dispatch:
Now comes GOP gubernatorial nominee J. Kenneth Blackwell, trailing badly in the polls, with an October surprise against Democrat Ted Strickland. With homophobic bloggers serving as campaign adjuncts to spread rumors that Strickland, married for 18 years, is gay, Blackwell accused Strickland of harboring a pedophile on his payroll.
Moreover, Blackwell twisted a vote […]

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 […]

Saw this over at BSB this morning…
Kenny “Belt-buckle” Blackwell protected a Treasurer’s office employee who was arrested multiple times for cocaine possession and armed robbery.
The situation couldn’t be more unlike the Strickland situation, where a nasty anonymous letter at the end of a campaign attempted to “out” his campaign manager. Strickland confronted the campaign manager […]

Jerome “I’m shilling so much for Blackwell they’d had better be paying me” Corsi continues his insane assault on Ted Strickland over at WND.
The underground current of Ted Strickland’s Democratic gubernatorial campaign is to turn Ohio from a Red State bastion into a Blue State hot-bed of sexual freedom and experimentation.
The Ohio newspapers that have […]

… but oh so funny.

HT: BSB

Just one of those days - swamped at the paying job, feel like I’m being hit with a firehose of old news on the politics front. Can I keep this up for 3 more weeks?
Anyway, found this on YouTube the other day.

Coultergeist actually blames the 2004 election irregularities on Democrats. And she takes […]

This faux outrage on the right about Strickland’s former staffer’s expunged exhibitionism conviction is exactly why I hate politics. It is also why our voter turnout is so low, and people just tune out. It’s vile, disgusting, unsupported smears like this that drive citizens out of the political process.
What’s worse is that right-wing […]

Strongsville resident Mike Tyson has decided to publicly endorse a major African-American conservative politician… and chooses wingnut-lite Michael Steele over his homegrown African-American conservative Ken Blackwell.
If Krazy Kenny can’t garner the support of Mike Tyson, he’s clearly sunk.

I skipped last night’s debate, figuring the race is over and there there was no way this debate could be in the least bit consequential.
Boy, was I wrong.

I think I can hear Blackwell’s poll numbers dropping!
Lula Smith, 66, of the East Side, said, “I had a lot of respect for Blackwell when I came in, […]
