The pimp look doesn’t work for DeWine.
ODP points out that after a career of protecting Wall Street insiders, Mike DeWine now wants to protect them, and not us, as Ohio’s Attorney General.
Frankly, I think DeWine’s comments support Kasich’s secretive executive bonuses for his JobsOhio plan plays right into this video.
Full Story... →That’s lots of threes:
The next FEC report will show the following transfers in June: $666,666 to the DSCC, $666,666 to the DCCC, $333,333 to the Ohio Democratic Party, and $333,333 to the Florida Democratic Party. These sort of numbers could potentially drive Sarah Palin and Iron Maiden fans mad.
Full Story... →Gee, where have I heard this before?
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... →I’m gonna echo Modern’s post on tomorrow’s ODP conference call, and the ensuing June 5 kickoff event this Saturday, and the ad announcing it in our sidebar, neither of which include Lee Fisher or staff from Lee Fisher’s campaign.
Memo to Lee.
Barack Obama IS GOING TO CAMPAIGN for Ted Strickland to be re-elected. YOU CAN’T AVOID IT. It must have been odd for all those steelworkers in Youngstown to see Air Force One land in the Mahoning Valley, which Air Force One doesn’t often do, and find that our candidate for US Senate was nowhere to be found, [...]
Full Story... →This is what Lee Fisher poll tested, rolled out, and attacked Jennifer Brunner over.
Day after day, we’d be reaching a very small but very vocal group of voters who were classified in ODP’s VoteBuilder as Democrats. The most interesting exchange occurred when the candidate was verbally assaulted, simply for identifying herself as a Democratic candidate. “Get the hell off my porch you socialist,” shouted one female voter. When the candidate’s husband took pen to clipboard to make a note to remove that house from our list, the woman pushed closer to both of them. “What the hell are [...]
Full Story... →What I’ve been suspecting for some time is coming to pass, as Modern notes – Republicans have peaked.? They peaked right about the time of Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts.? My theory is that the new media cycle has hyper accelerated the over-hyped 1994 dynamic within the electorate (which didn’t peak in 1994 until about October.)? And that the passage of health care reform after that peak in 2010 brought the wave to a halt at the last stroke of Barack Obama’s pen on the bill.
For Democrats in Ohio, this means the biggest remaining risk for our ticket [...]
Full Story... →My first paid staff position on a political campaign was in 1992, when I was handed the northwest corner of Ohio as a field coordinator.? For this 25 year old, wet behind the ears staffer, Wood County quickly became my favorite.? First lesson – you DO NOT fuck with Wood County Democrats.? It was, and still is, an oasis of Democratic blue in a desert of red counties.? As such, Wood County Democrats are one tough bunch.? Al Baldwin, the county Democratic Party chair at the time, was straight from old school central casting.? I still tell those [...]
Full Story... →ODP invited us bloggers to join Chris Redfern on a conference call this afternoon, which is awesome. ?I feel a detente of sorts beginning to thaw across the ODP-blogger landscape, largely because of how this primary season is shaping up. ?That’s great news for the fall.
I’m not sure why there isn’t more of this type of outreach, other than an old, tired, and now cliche insistence on continuing an arms length relationship between bloggers and ODP. ?Primaries tend to exacerbate that arms length relationship. ?Which brings me to my question for Chris Redfern on today’s call.
Will ODP, Redfern, [...]
Full Story... →I signed Lee Fisher’s petition today at the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party Executive Committee meeting for May 5 primary endorsements, happily. ?I’ve always wanted to see a primary in this race, we’ve got one, no reason not to sign. ?But it does strike me as odd that the so-called “inevitable” candidate is still collecting petitions, with paid staff, at his own home county’s primary endorsement meeting, where the party refuses to endorse him. ?Fun.
The meeting was fairly drama free, except for two races. ?In the Ohio State Senate district 23 primary, the county party had to go to a [...]
