Josh Mandel’s protestations about how oh so sorry he is for his racist bigoted attack claiming Kevin Boyce is some kind of terrorist are just plain bullshit. It’s an ongoing campaign. Hasn’t stopped, it’s only gone further into the gutter. There’s nothing deeper in the gutter than Matt Naugle, who today links to a Townhall diatribe which has to have come from Mandel’s campaign, using long time Mandel sycophant Joel Mowbray, parroting the same crap, except this time they quote an anonymous Boyce staffer.
Although Boyce’s name is the one voters will see next Tuesday, Ahmad will continue to [...]
Full Story... →It’s an election year in Ohio, which means it’s time for the national wannabe blog kingpins to fuck up our state’s politics. Yay.
We all remember Cliff Schecter in Ohio. Used to be one of our favorite Ohio bloggers. Now, Cliff is making a habit of being Jane Hamsher’s whore, and getting fired from campaigns all over the state, including Marilyn Brown’s doomed 2009 primary against Jennifer Garrison’s doomed run for Secretary of State. Recently, Cliff got fired (i.e. resigned lol) from Kevin Boyce’s state treasurer’s office. Why this guy keeps turning up like a bad penny is anyone’s [...]
Full Story... →Josh Mandel couldn’t tell the truth if it could win him an election.
On Friday, he claimed that his campaign was “pulling” their controversial Islamophobic ad. It turned out it ran all this weekend as planned. The campaign just simply tried to shoot for positive spin on it for the Sunday opinion columns for “doing the right thing" when, in fact, the campaign did everything according to their plans.
Then Tim posted about how a mailer, with the exact same message, was received on Saturday. Despite a week of widespread condemnation for an attack Mandel has been using all year.

Full Story... →Modern notes that Mandel’s racist ad hasn’t been “cycled out” as he claims. And today, this piece is hitting swing households in Ohio. Exact same script as the ad.
It really is sad to see a once promising young man turn into such a parody of all that is repulsive about Republicans.
Full Story... →What is the Ohio Republican Party and Josh Mandel’s campaign thinking? Are they insane?
The Ohio Democratic Party couldn’t believe the gift that Josh Mandel gave it and State Treasurer Kevin Boyce a golden gift. And that gift is Mandel attending a fundraiser with disgraced former State Treasurer Joe Deters.
Deters was the GOP’s Marc Dann before 2006. As the press release from ODP details, Deters left Columbus in a cloud:
Deters’ Chief of Staff was convicted of “giving preferential treatment to some investment brokers who do business with the treasurer’s office.” [Dayton Daily News, 9/14/04]
• Deters’ [...]

Full Story... →As an internet video dude often paid to consult on such matters, this one isn’t bad at all. A bit long, but I think it’s good.
In other news, did anyone see that Josh Mandel was at an event with birther queen Orly Taitz recently? Interesting!
Full Story... →Just got this from ODP.? I don’t normally post press releases in full, but this one’s a doozy.
COLUMBUS ? Today, the Ohio Democratic Party revealed a group of Josh Mandel’s campaign contributors with criminal financial histories. The State Representative and Republican candidate for State Treasurer has taken campaign cash from a man who pled guilty to paying $1 million in bribes to the New York Controller, a CEO of a company convicted of deceptive loan practices, and the Vice Chairman of a company that paid $250 million in fines to the SEC while losing $335 million in state pension [...]
Full Story... →Here’s a clue. If you are running for statewide office and you are going to be in charge of all our money, you probably should be as transparent as a previously unbroken window in a Democratic Party Headquarters. It’s very simple.
Transparency = Freedom, Democracy, and the American Way
Apparently Republican Josh Mandel and his staffer and current legislative aid Joel Riter are un-American fascists who don’t understand this concept and don’t like the glare of transparency peeking in on their right wing lovefest.
Chris Johnson at the Cincinnatti Beacon has the goods. A video (below) in [...]
Full Story... →Modern and I talked on the phone about this last night for almost an hour, and we agree. ?The notion that the Kasich campaign is floating a John Kasich/Mary Taylor ticket for Ohio governor must be making Chris Redfern apoplectic with glee. ?Fernsy, here’s one where you and I can kick back, raise a glass, and enjoy a moment of wondrous joy together. ?Miracles never cease.
This bizarre episode proves one thing, spectacularly – John Kasich is at least as weak a candidate as Ken Blackwell, probably weaker. ?Kasich is getting teabagged from the right, for a host of [...]
