Remember back in May when Republican candidate Steve Stivers attempted to walk back his response on a 9/12 Tea Party group’s questionnaire that asked if Steve Stivers would support repealing the 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that allows for the direct election of the Senate by the people? (If not, click on the link.)
Well, what about the rest of that questionnaire?

Last week, Steve Stivers claimed he was FOR embryonic stem cell research despite his vote in the State Senate to ban funding for it.
Today, Stivers attacked Kilroy over her support for cap-and-trade:
“Liberal special interest groups are at it again. Rahm Emanuel’s little brother and his Hollywood friends think they know what is best for the voters of Ohio’s 15th District. They had the audacity to run an ad in the Columbus Dispatch that leads people to believe that Cap and Trade is good for [...]

Today, the Carpetblogger attacked Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy for saying that she voted against the TARP.
Do you think her Big Labor friends will be ticked off when they find out Kilroy wasn’t even in congress when TARP was voted on?
Do you think that the NRCC is going to be ticked off after they tweeted about Keeling’s post when they realized that Kilroy was in Congress to vote on TARP?
Back in January [...]
Full Story... →Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy knows that the national Republicans have painted a big target on her back.? She knows she’s likely facing a rematch from her ’08 opponent in which she narrowly won thanks, in part, to a high youth turnout fueled by the presidential election that is unlikely to materialize in ’10.
And yet, she not only voted for the House health insurance reform bill, but she also voted against the Stupak anti-choice amendment.
If you’ve got some spare change, give Kilroy some coin.? If you live in the area and have some spare time, then give [...]
Full Story... →Wow. Didn’t see this one coming. As Tim notes, a house resolution passed overwhelmingly today that recognized Hawaii as President Obama’s birthplace. A total jab to the birther insanity that has gripped the GOP.
Boehner voted for it. Schmidt voted for it. Hell, the guy who sponsored the damned “birther bill” voted FOR it.
My congressman and PB Joseph’s congresswoman? Tiberi and Kilroy both “not voted”. OK. Tiberi I get. But Mary Jo? MARY JO?!@?
Congresswoman Kilroy, please contact us immediately regarding this. I’m hoping there’s a real good explanation.
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... →PolickerOH has named this week’s winners and losers. Ted Strickland is a winner:
The governor is picking off incumbent Repubilcans in competitive legislative seats by offering them jobs in his administration.
It’s really fun to beat your opponent at their own game. Gaming the system is, indeed, the game of the Ohio GOP.
Stivers and the GOP are losers:
They really missed the boat by accusing Kilroy of using a body-double in a parade. (link added)
That wingnut after wingnut blogger hopped on this thing makes it even sweeter.
I’d also mention that Naug [...]
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 [...]
