Here’s what Governor Strickland and Congressman Kasich said about outsourcing in last night’s debate (Source: ONN/WBNS TV Channel 10)
Except John Kasich knows that Ohio has lost jobs to China… because he’s voted on corporate boards to ship Ohio manufacturing jobs overseas.
John Kasich lied last night to the people of Ohio. The only question is will anyone in the media call Kasich out on it.
Full Story... →I had relatively low expectations for the debate. I tend to think that they’re always draws. And I think State debates are particularly overanalyzed as, let’s face, most people who watch them are already decided. What matters more is going to be the fact-checking articles, and the coverage in the morning as more people will see the debate through them than tonight. The other is did the debate created any fodder for ads.
Look, you can dismiss my analysis of the debate as a Strickland backer. So let’s judge it based on what the media said, pre-debate, each campaign needed [...]

I always saw Kasich as more a legislative character than an executive–he was too wild, too undisciplined and wonky–and though he’s aged some, he remains the same John Kasich. When I caught up with him this morning, he was holding a press conference in a factory, announcing a new job training initiative, flailing his arms around a convoluted box-and-line chart, saying, “Look at all this stuff–all these programs–and no coordination!” The trouble was, his solution was, well, incomprehensible.
He wanted to create a new board supervising the [...]

The debate was scheduled for September 29th. Both campaigns had confirmed their attendance.
Husted’s reason? He’s scheduled to do nine joint appearances with O’Shaughnessy. Not sure how many of those are nothing more than editorial board meetings with Ohio’s newspapers. [UPDATE:] Yep. We’ve confirmed with the O’Shaugnessy campaign that Husted’s “nine joint appearances” consists of two planned debates, and the rest were joint appearances in front of Ohio newspaper’s editorial boards seeking [...]
Full Story... →Yes, my friends. The man is an erratic mess:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) made an overnight change in the homeowner bailout he proposed at Tuesday’s presidential debate, making it more generous to financial institutions and more costly for taxpayers.
Great Obama response:
“John McCain wants the government to massively overpay for mortgages in a plan that would guarantee taxpayers lose money, and put them at risk of losing even more if home values don’t recover. The biggest beneficiaries of this plan will be the same financial institutions that got us into this mess, some of whom even committed fraud.”

I obviously like Kyle a great deal. He’s solid and very cool and collected. We’ve only ever met once I think down at ProgressOhio on election night in 2006. He is really well spoken and I think represents our side very well. I actually also like Ben quite a bit. I’m not sure what it is, but he just seems like a decent guy. He’s capable of going a bit wingnutty, but we all have our weaknesses. We do need to [...]

In the hours and days leading up to the VP debate the entire right were breathing into paper bags over Gwen Ifill. She wrote some book. She can’t possibly be unbiased. More gotcha journalism coming.
How stupid do these people look this morning?
