I am closely following the OH-05 Race where the Blue Majority Candidate Robin Weirauch is challenging the lackluster Republican candidate Bob Latta. Robin is finishing this final week with incredible energy and DCCC spending today suggests a high stacks game of Chicken with their Republican counter part the NRCC.

Today the DCCC billed a charge from McMahnon Squir Lapp and Associates Inc. for "production cost". This production cost could have been posted the same day as a big media buy and suggest a taunt by the DCCC. They will be advertising more in this final weekend but the NRCC doesn't know how large the buy will be. This buy will most likely be at the last possible minute and will leave the Republicans with no time to respond. They know we have an attack ad ready.

"We've made an ad; now how much are we going to spend?"

According to online FEC reports filed several hours ago, Robin Weirauch pulled in a remarkable $138,152.51, leaving her with $66,587.05 cash-on-hand as of 11/21. She received $38,002.51 from individuals, $1,400.00 from political party committees, and $98,750.00 from PACs. Included are $5,000 from Emily's List and $2,000 each from committees affiliated with Rep. Rahm Emmanual, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Steny Hoyer , Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Rep. Tim Ryan, and Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She also received funds from various Congressional leadership PACS, including $5,000 from Rep. Kaptur's PAC. Weirauch also got over $34,000 from union PACs.

The DCCC, ODP and the DNC are "fully engaged" in this campaign and although it's an uphill fight, YOU can help put a true progressive into office, instead of a neo-con who is dumber than a brick and twice as boring.

I have some good news I would like to share with you all. Wes Clark has
brought in over $10,000 in one day of online fundraising to Robins Weirauch's Special Election Campaign to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives (OH-05) on Dec, 11th!

Additionally, last week Robins campaign was provided a big boost earning EMILY's List Endorsement.

Robin is really picking up steam and this national attention is good
news we need in the 5th congressional district. If you haven't already
done so please consider helping Robin's campaign.

Last week Sherrod Brown’s D.C. office notified the Wood County Democrats that after an 06 election analysis Sherrod Brown carried the 5th congressional district. Over the course of last week this claim has been independently verified by local party analysts.

Robin Weirauch, a 3-time candidate is considering running in the 5th District in Ohio, Special Election on December 11th due to the passing of Paul Gillmor (R-OH)

This is an opportunity to gain a seat, as the last election she only lost by 7% points and is supported by a vast network of grassroots in this rural area.

Fundraising is the name of the Game

Please consider supporting the campaign on Act Blue

Information on Robin can be found here.

This will be the only show in the Country and both parties must put on a respectable showing as issues such as Iraq will certainly arise.

To articulate the future, the present and where we must go one must look at the vision of John Kennedy. The following passage is his political credo:

"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."

John F. Kennedy

From Buckeye State Blog:

Paul Gillmor goes on the attack, yet again, against Robin Weirauch. This is his third negative tv ad against a challenger in a supposedly safe district. You know the goddamn Republicans are scared when a 9-term incumbent, 30-year politician, Deputy Majority Whip, and one-time president of the Ohio Senate is running ads about flag burning (Robin's against it) and campaign finance reform (Robin's for it, though Gillmor lies about her position). Robin received the endorsement of the Toledo Blade this weekend.

We might want to expand our efforts to OH-05.

Sounds silly? or Crazy?

Well Paul Gillmor did a poll over the summer and for the first time in his history (or at least in my memory) he's doing TV ads. I wonder what his poll results said? Obviously something if he's dipping into his war chest!

Additionally the dems are doing wonderfully locally and any extra help would be greatly appreciated. Why not do a poll on OH-05 to test the waters? Why not invest just a little cash? Toledo is an inexpensive TV market; any DCCC money would help.

Why not expand our numbers in the house?

Rush used this Post today @ 2:50pm on his radio program

"Panic is setting in on the democratic side. You can sense it and you can feel it" - Rush Limbaugh responding to my DailyKos post

Because of the efforts of activists like myself and this online community, Wood County Ohio will turn Blue this year, Mr. Limbaugh. Not only is Wood County turning blue - the State of Ohio will turn Blue. We will elect Sherrod Brown who will not rubber stamp the failed policies of the Bush administration. Ohioans like myself do not believe in torture, do not believe in the War in Iraq and agree that the way to overcome terrorism is through moral leadership, vision and cooperation with other nations.

I am sad to report to this community the reality of the ground situation in a northwestern bellwether county, Wood County Ohio. Despite our enthusiasm for recent polls and excitement in general it appears the republican early voting effort is far superior to ours.

Absentee Ballots have been going out for one week, and the Republican early voting turnout machine has proven superior to our best efforts. To date nearly 3,500 absentee ballots have been mailed out. 40% of which have been mailed to Republicans, 40% to undeclared and only 20% to Democrats. Read More

Ohio has drawn so much national attention in recent years. I live in a Suburban County south of Toledo, and I have been fighting vigorously to turn it blue. Clinton won my county twice. Bush also won my county twice. I live in Wood County, a swing county with 2/3 republican commissioners, 2/2 Republican Senators, one republican congressman (a very worthless one at that), a Republican State Senator and a Republican State house member.

I am running a Commissioners Race to turn my County Blue. If Melanie wins, Democrats will control Wood Counties local government. Imagine very well established social networks helping the Democratic candidate win the 2008 presidential race. My Candidate is Melanie Bowen:
