I was wondering this myself!
Second, Marilyn Brown may have cured every Franklin resident of cancer for all I care, but the way she caved and cleared the field for Garrison (when Garrison had not exactly showed the monolithic support you claimed) was crappy, especially after she’d gotten a large number of state legislators to endorse her over their own House Majority Floor Leader.
Seems Marilyn Brown’s endorsers showed more courage than Marilyn Brown. ?Shocking! ?I’d like to know what Marilyn Brown is doing with the money she raised to run for SOS. ?Is she giving it back? ?Or [...]
Full Story... →Good. ?Anthony says she’s considering a few things!
The question Hoke must answer is whether or not….
Here’s the deal, Candice. ?The question is whether or not YOU ACTUALLY RUN. ?If you intend to ACTUALLY RUN, you will have more support than you could ever hope for. ?And unless you ACTUALLY RUN, this blogger is going to be silent about your candidacy, however fine a secretary of state you would make, which by the looks of it, could be stellar. ?Could. ?Might. ?Should. ?WHATEVER.
This is one guy who’s sick and tired of being bait and switched by candidates [...]
Full Story... →A lot of people ask me why I support Jennifer Brunner for US Senate, the answer is simple. ?Courage. ?Brunner says what she’s going to do, then does it. ?She ran for Secretary of State saying she’d clean up our sad electoral processes, she did it. ?Brunner saw an opening for the US Senate, she’s going for it.
Unfortunately, it’s increasingly likely that when Brunner is our nominee, she will be the victim of a statewide Democratic ticket filled with a bunch of opportunistic cowards, backed by a bunch of opportunistic cowards, thus pathetic in the extreme because this state’s [...]
Full Story... →Got into a discussion about our homophobe gay baiting neanderthal blonde Sarah Palin Democrat Jennifer Garrison today, and it was just depressing.? Then I look at my Facebook feed, and there’s an update from Marilyn Brown, Garrison’s former opponent in the primary for Secretary of State.
So I unfriended Marilyn Brown.? Marilyn, you don’t get to enter a race, get people all ginned up to support you, send your campaign manager to pitch a bunch of oppo at blogs, then pull out, and expect others to just be all cool with that.? In the real world, that’s called a bait [...]
Full Story... →Anastasia catches Jennifer Garrison doing more image rehab by hopping on the bandwagon of an elections process bill. She also wonders out loud whether Jen will try to co-opt a bill intended to prevent unwanted pregnancies through improved access to birth control and comprehensive sex education.
Garrison is to the right of most Dems on women’s reproductive issues and, as Anastasia points out, the recent furor in Dem circles over the Stupak amendment to the Health Care Reform Act makes it an inconvenient time for a Democrat running for statewide office to hold views to the right of [...]
Full Story... →I like Ohio House Elections and Ethics Committee Chairman Dan Stewart (D-Columbus).? He was the main Democratic sponsor of H.B. 176, the bill that would have added sexual orientation and gender identity to Ohio’s housing and employment anti-discrimination laws.? But I don’t understand what his committee is doing killing the Golden Week of voting.
Today, his Committee voted out H.B. 260, which would make substantial changes to Ohio’s election laws.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the Democratic House bill would get rid of the “Golden Week”- wherein people could register to vote and then cast an [...]
Full Story... →I swear I woke up this morning and it was 2006. Like groundhog day. I find Joe Hallett misrepresenting blogs and (after having admitted reading them) belittling them in a way that left his own credibility in the matter wanting. I also find Brian Rothenberg stepping into the blogosphere and getting his ass handed to him.
Let’s take them one at a time. Joe first.

Full Story... →So the story Anthony posted about a supposed conversation between Democratic SoS candidate Jennifer Garrison and former Democratic AG candidate Subodh Chandra has caused quite the stir. Tim Russo even asked the Governor about it, who of course said he didn’t think she said that. Of course he wouldn’t know because all accounts of this old ass story are that it happened between two people and two people only. Unless there was someone standing beside Jennifer and Subodh that we don’t yet know about.
Well, one of them has denied this conversation took place. Jennifer says [...]
Full Story... →Wow. The hits just keep on coming for the embattled homophobic Democratic candidate for Secretary of State Jennifer Garrison. Anthony has another shocking blow to camp Garrison. Not only does she appear unwilling to stand up for the civil rights of the gay community, but she also may be a closet racist?
Again, according to a very credible source, Garrsion took a step and a half back, looked Chandra up and down, and said “no one where I come from would ever vote for someone who looks like you.” Garrison then turned and walked away, leaving Chandra stunned.

Full Story... →Earlier I posted about the trouble brewing for Jennifer Garrison in her bid to be the Democratic candidate for Ohio Secretary of State. The post included information on a Facebook group opposing her (now up over 200 members). The group was started by Michael Daniels and in doing some research I found an interesting video of him talking about the race. Michael is publisher of Outlook Magazine. He is also a very well respected member of the LGBT community in Ohio.
What Michael seems to be saying here is Ted Strickland and Chris Redfern’s soft support [...]
Full Story... →DDN reported on a new Facebook group opposing Jennifer Garrison’s bid for Ohio Secretary of State on Friday. I got an invite today and the group already has 155 members. No love in some of the comments either:
I’m sure you are hearing this from the LGBT Community from all around the state, but I have to make my voice heard on this. Jennifer Garrison should be a non-starter in the Secretary of State race. She is totally unacceptable for statewide office. She is a anti-gay, anti-woman and pro-gun. The is a Democrat in name only. I [...]
