I have heard a rumor enough times to wonder how much truth there is to it with regards to Paul Hackett's withdrawal in Ohio...that is that some of the pressure (and some of the swiftboat style rumor-mongering) was genereated by the consultants in DC and in Ohio that stood to lose a significant amount of money if Sherrod Brown didn't get the Democratic nomination.

When you consider what 15-25% of the spending in Ohio is likely to be, you start to see how big money plays a role in these decisions - after all, homes in the DC suburbs and in the tony 'burbs of Ohio are expensive, and insider consultants are just plain entitled to all that money, right?

I haven't dealt with Ohio politics in years so I have no idea, but I'd be curious if you DailyKos folks might be able to shine some light on this subject....

You know it's getting bad for Republican political appointee Annemarie Conroy when even the local TV news, not known for really going after news stories, starts an investigation into the qualifications of Ms. Conroy for one of the most critical jobs in a city that is certain to have a disaster.

KGO News, bucking the trend of faux journalism at the local level, took a hard look. And what they found wasn't too great. The second half was broadcast last night, and frankly NO ONE looks good in all of this. Read More

I've been reading all the "big" blogs and read countless articles on What Democrats Oughta Do, usualy followed with pieces about how the DC Democrats Still Don't Get It. This is nothing new - anyone who has worked in campaigns for a long time has been dealing with this for years. Read More
