PBS Now provides evidence of GOP voter caging - by race


PBS provides evidence of the GOP fixing the election here in Ohio. Of course, this will be ignored because of “media bias”.
Was there a White House plot to illegally suppress votes in 2004? Is there a similar plan for the upcoming elections? This week NOW examines documents and evidence that points to a Republican […]

ODP: Ya Got Trouble


…Ya got trouble, my friend, right here, I say, trouble right here in River City.
Naymik outs what we’ve been hearing all week. ODP appears to have some trouble on its hands. Russell posted earlier about problems with the much touted new voter file system. Now we hear about fractures in the coordinated:
The […]

A Democratic Storm’s a Brewin’


2500 plus. That’s how many bought tickets to the event. Talking to Chris Redfern, he made this striking comment: “We wanted to be at the convention center, but there wasn’t enough space”. Wasn’t enough space at the Columbus Convention Center. Wow!
This place is packed and the energy is infectious. What […]

Strickland on the Stump


Strickland:
2 basic reasons Blackwell is not fit to govern.
1. His conduct in the 2004 election in Ohio. We will hold him responsible. If he cannot oversee an election system in Ohio, how can he be the Governor of Ohio.
2. He has no vision for Ohio. TEL flip flop. TEL […]

Hot Damn, It’s a Hoedown!


I never expected a freakin’ hoedown, but we got one. Francis just broke out the damned guitar and played a little ditty to the tune of Davy Crockett. Pretty funny shit and she and Ted had a bit of fun on stage before Ted gets back to more serious business of a real […]

Speeches, Speeches


Obama, as expected was great. He seemed to crescendo early and could have ended stronger, but his stories were great and his use of a recent Newt Gingrich quote was brilliant. Newt was criticizing Republicans and was asked “If you were a Democrat, how would you respond to Republicans?”. Newt says: […]

Obama The Rock Star


OK, Barack just stopped by the blogger table and there is absolutely no way I was gonna get any video of that. In fact, there was a KISS concert that I went to as a kid that felt sorta like what I just experienced. People freakin’ swarmed the table. There were 30 […]

DSCC TV - Guy Cecil on Ohio


Guy talks Ohio and why he thinks Sherrod can beat DeWine. Ripe for the Democratic pickings, he says.
Hope he's right, fear he's not when it comes to the Brown race. What he talks about in terms of election poll watchers is important - especially given the recent Rolling Stone article. […]

ODP’s Blog Problem


Get home from some appointments and what am I greeted by? More ODP State Dinner flap. Ann Fisher reports, both Russell and Tim blog about it.
Russell is absolutely correct in his point about Brian likening us to newspaper reporters. In my conversation with him, he appeared to be using any […]

Molly Ivins: Damn Straight!


I referenced this quote below related to the poor polling of Sherrod Brown, inferring of course that Hackett was our guy:
This is not a time for a candidate who will offend no one; it is time for a candidate who takes clear stands and kicks ass.
But I think you really need to read the whole […]

BSB: Dennis Lieberman Straight Talking


BSB points us to an article at the Dayton Daily News, where Lieberman shoots straight on endorsing in primaries - especially this year:
Q: Did the state party made a mistake in endorsing Rich Cordray over Hugh Quill?
A: I would have preferred no endorsement and letting a primary resolve it. You have two qualified people.
Q: Really? […]
