A new ad has shown up on cable in Ohio from a group called OneOhioUnited. Which is advocating that we contact our state reps to get them to vote for their 'Ohio Jobs Budget'. Which is ironically named since it will be a job killer in the state. Primarily advocating gutting the state government, gutting medicaid, and closing public schools and giving vouchers to private schools. Oh and I forgot the most important bit, we need to CUT Taxes. They are attempting to gin up calls of support for this monstrosity of a proposal.

I just received a push poll from the infamous (202) 461-3441, phone number. They were running one in Massachusetts right before the Coakley-Brown fiasco.

My call followed a very similar structure to the ones reported in Mass.
The call came in on my cell phone. The call was a Robo Call, where I was expected to speak my answer. Below is my best recollection of the wording of the questions. They may not be exact, but if pressed I would swear in court as being the questions.

Well there is one thing that we should all be able to agree on this morning. If the reports from Politico as repeated by Talking Points Memo are true, Bart Stupak is not a Democrat and should be kicked out of the caucus.

With some good news coming out in the last few days like the NRCC is pulling funds from the district AP
and todays poll showing Zack Space at 58% vs Padgetts 33% Washington Post

I came across what was to me one of the most shocking realizations of the campaign. No not mine, but R. Novakula Douchebag of Liberty might just have come to the realization that Republicans lie, and what makes it worse is they were lieing to him.

268,420 is the total number of voters in the 2004 race for OH-18. $3,153,072.33 is the total spent by the NRCC in OH-18 as of 10/25/06. When we put the two numbers together we see that the NRCC has spent ~$11.75 per voter in the district so far.

Last tuesdays total was $2,393,514.60, so we see that they have dumped another $759,557.73 into the district over the last 8 days. Or approx. $2.82 per 2004 voter since last tuesday. Zack Space could really use a few dollars to fight back.

Last tuesday, I typed up a litle diary noting that the NRCC had dumped $1,684,477.62 into the race against Zack Space since september. The NRCC have been dumping money into this race so fast, in fact that I had barely finished my diary before they had dumped in another 12k. Well since a week had gone by, I thought it was time to revisit the state of the NRCC money pit. Read More

I will not link to the offending comment or source. I am certain that you have all seen them before so no sense in giving them any more voice than they already have. But I still find myself stunned to see examples of it.

How does any sane Democrat argue that Joe Lieberman should have been left alone, because gee look at him running as an independant. How is the fact that many of us felt he was a traitor to progressive values and should be removed from the senate mean that we are to blame? Especially considering that old low joe has proved since the Democratic Party primary in Connecticut that he isn't really a Democrat. Read More

That's right $1,684,477.62 spent as of 10/9/6 by the NRCC.

A Congressional District that Tom "I know nothing, but look at all these kids" Reynolds described as

A ruby red Republican district. According to the Cook Political Report, OH-18 "has a PVI of R+6, meaning it voted 6-points more Republican than the nation in the 2000 and 2004 elections."

If you don't believe me check out
Schecule E for Report FEC-241361

The polls currently show Space leading the unethical politically, ethically and monetarily bankrupt GOP nominee by 45 percent to 36 percent.
New Philadelphia Times Reporter
However 1.6 million buys an awful lot of negative mailings and phone banks. Kos said Ohio is one of their 'firewall' states and believe me, in this district you see them spending money like it was water. Also excuse me for the lame poll.

You can help Zack answer back Zack Space Updated After dumping another 4k for phonebanking into the race today the total is now $1,696,726.26. So that's another 12k total from the last report I saw.

Cleveland.com is reporting that Bob Ney has officially filed the paperwork to withdraw from the race. This will trigger the state rules calling for a special primary in mid september. The Tuscarawas Board of Elections will make that determination by tomorrow morning.

Padgett has already been cleared to run in the special primary. I point this out as the sloppy reporting in the article states only that there had been questions about whether she could run.

So good bye to a few million of Ohio taxpayers money. Hello special Republican advertising season. Lets just hope they knock the snot out of each other. Read More

I received a little missive today from my congressman, Bob Ney. On official stationary, prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense. I learned what a grave thread illegal immigration was to Ohio. To quote...

"Just in the last month, there have been three documented instances in the 18th Congressional District where local law enforcement officials apprehended illegal aliens, but then were ordered by federal immigration officials to let the illegal aliens go-a practice known as "catch and release." Illegal immigration has become a major problem-not just in border states like California and Arizona, but now even in our own backyard."
