The Environmental Defense Fund is running ads against Pat Tiberi on climate change and energy. Seeing these a ton on TV today:
It looks like they are running two others against Mark Souder (IN-3) and Tim Holden (PA-17).
Tiberi and Souder are both Republicans. Holden is a Blue Dog Democrat. Both Republicans are in near 60/40 districts. I’m not sure about IN-3, but OH-12 is a pretty solidly Republican district that has been slowly trending more Democratic since 2002. The ads in OH-12 are good softening ads, but absent a strong challenge with a [...]
Full Story... →So I get a Facebook group invitation from Jordan Smith today. I get tons of those and ignore most, but this one caught my eye: “How about this: Brunner for the Ohio 12th Congressional District!”
Huh? LOL. Where have we seen this argument before. I KNOW! Paul Hackett. Don’t run for Senate Paul. Just be happy to run for that little Congressional job. There is someone else and it’s “their turn”.
Shit gets so old.
So the argument is that both candidates are great and all, but Jennifer should just settle for running for a Congressional seat [...]
Full Story... →Absolute hilarity:
Best line hands down: “Is that as fast as you can go?”. Said to Congressman running away from questioner. LMAO
I love watching these GOPers do the duck and cover from their wingnut base. It’s so fun and entertaining. In case you missed the best comment ever about the birther phenomenon, check it out. All your base are belong to you. So great!
Full Story... →Congrats to our newest Congresswoman from Ohio, Mary Jo Kilroy. She won the 15th race – ironically by nearly as thin a margin as she lost by last time. She actually won by more than double Pryce’s tally in ’06, but still very thin at 2,311. Very nice. Joseph here will be especially happy. It’s his district.
Full Story... →More calls for Marc Dann to resign and do so quickly:
“Sexual harassment can’t be tolerated,” Kilroy said in a statement released this evening. “As a mother of two daughters of about the same age as those in the press accounts, I am appalled that those in power would abuse their authority in such a shameful way. Marc Dann should resign and he should do so quickly.”
Kilroy added that the actions by Dann and several top aides “have damaged the trust that people should have in their elected officials. In service to the people of Ohio, Marc Dann [...]
Full Story... →Pelosi and friends nix the gas tax holiday. It will be DOA in the House. Why? Because it’s a stupid political stunt that will have no lasting affect on those who need REAL economic relief.
The gas tax holiday backed by Hillary Clinton and John McCain will be DOA in the House, lawmakers have warned, reports the Hill. The measure has been left off House energy proposals that could be tacked onto the Iraq spending bill because “there’s no reason to believe that any moratorium on the gas tax would be passed on to the consumer,” said House [...]
Full Story... →Caught this in a WaPo article about how Obama has tied Hilary among Congressional supers:
Rep. Zack Space (D-Ohio), who remains neutral, marveled that Hill — who lost his seat in 2004 to Republican Michael E. Sodrel, won it back in 2006 and is likely to face a rematch with Sodrel in November — came out for Obama. But he said he was even more amazed by Tuesday’s endorsement of Obama by Rep. Ben Chandler (D-Ky.), whose district is likely to vote overwhelmingly for Clinton in the Kentucky Democratic primary May 20.
“That’s courageous,” he said.
Yeah, Zack. Courageous. Unlike [...]
