Secretary of State Jon Husted recently issued a press release followed by an email to their list a couple of days later about a neat little “Ready 2012 and Beyond” proposal to – well, get ready for the GOP to do electoral battle against Obama and Democrats in 2012. Duh. The quoted part does seem like a dog whistle to their brethren who will get the message. This isn’t about reforming the elections process to instill voter confidence and increase access. The GOP has proven time and again that they really don’t care much for that. This is a [...]
Full Story... →Anastasia thinks so.
He’s got baggage. He’s coated with toxins left over from this year’s Democratic Senate primary, and he should not be pooh-poohing this as unimportant. It killed Ted Strickland’s political career and it could kill his.
Unfortunately, right before the May 2 primary election, Brown released a statement smearing Jennifer Brunner by telling a lie about her: that she had run a negative primary campaign.
This was especially outraging to many grassroots activists because Lee Fisher HAD been running a negative campaign. In the several weeks prior to Sherrod’s statement….
I’m not sure this will stick that [...]
Full Story... →First things first. I’m terrible at predicting election results, not gonna deny it. “If Jennifer Brunner files, she wins,” is a line I must have written a dozen times leading up to the US Senate primary. I was wrong. I was banking on Jennifer catching fire online, and she didn’t. One good week of online fundraising might have won her the primary.
Failing to do so is the Brunner campaign’s biggest self-inflicted wound – they left a lot of money on the table, and let a lot of us down. I still have no good answer for this [...]
Full Story... →We’re entering Rob Burch futility here. It’s worth transcribing, with asides in parentheses, to show just how polar opposite this ad is to Lee’s entire rationale for being our nominee for US Senate instead of Jennifer Brunner.
I’m Lee Fisher. Pay very close attention to this ad, cuz you’re not gonna see it too many times. (This is your first ad in the entire general election, Lee. I’m paying real close attention.)
My campaign just doesn’t have millions of dollars to run lots of ads (Why not? You said you would. It was your entire primary campaign.), no scary [...]
Full Story... →Kumbaya! The world after a tough primary fight can look a bit difficult for the losing side, yes. Especially if you’re the guy who was the loudest blogger for the losing side. So you’ve all probably noticed a little Plund-awkwardness here from my end. Aside from becoming insanely busy with work and running for office, I’m finding it hard to blog about the Senate race.
But as you all know, I like nothing better than a philosophical argument of existential proportion, and this summer and fall in Ohio, thanks to BP and Lehman Brothers, we have that argument. Ted Strickland [...]
Full Story... →Awesome.? BTW, this is the video I watched before heading out to campaign at polling places today.? Thanks Jennifer, for doing this campaign the right way.
Full Story... →And of course, DailyKos picks that brave outsider Lee Fisher. Crash those gates!!
Full Story... →Been getting asked this a lot.
First, I still believe Jennifer Brunner is going to win this primary.? I do.? So I don’t think I’m going to have the problem of having to support Lee Fisher against Rob Portman.
Now, let’s say for the sake of argument that Lee does manage to do on Tuesday what he could not do in his previous two statewide elections, namely, win.? Modern has defined Lee’s problem very well.? Lee will be seen to have limped across the finish line, only with outside help, against an opponent who was almost unfunded, while repeating precisely [...]
Full Story... →Tim Ryan beat him a week later by 17 points.? After the DCCC poured money into the race.? After being outspent 10-1. ? That’s all I have to say about today’s Quinny poll.
Full Story... →Plunderbund has received a leaked memo from the very heights of the Lee Fisher campaign.? Its contents are below.

RE: PZF’s Sticky Fingers
It has come to our attention that despite our staff’s best efforts, PZF is still managing to horde and abscond with large quantities of our opponent’s campaign materials, including buttons, cards, flyers, etc.? In fact, even when cold busted in front of witnesses, PZF still hordes and absconds.
Effective immediately, if you are at an event, and you observe PZF carrying, holding, or otherwise absconding with a pile of our opponent’s campaign materials, all [...]
