This morning I woke up to my partner yelling,
"My God! Jennifer Brunner's a Republican?!!! Am I losing my mind?!!!" He's standing over my bed pointing to this picture in the Columbus Dispatch. It's a pix from a TV ad from Brunner's opponent,
Republican Greg Brunner.
"But didn't we meet her at the Stonewall DEMOCRATS candidates night?!!!"
Not only that, but she is running to replace notorious REPUBLICAN Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell. In the never-never land of "corruption central" (aka Ohio), where Blackwell is running for governor as a BLACK WHITE SURPREMICIST, everything is possible...but this is too much!
The Ad is quoted in the Dispatch:
...in a case involving Gov. Taft, she was caught making serious misjudgments.
The rest of the article debunks these claims, but does not address the GLARING item needing to be dealt with--BRUNNER IS A DEMOCRAT--OHIO GOV. TAFT IS A REPUBLICAN!!! THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT PARTIES!!!
(Is this the October surprise? The Republicans--having NOTHING to run on--are accusing their opponents of BEING REPUBLICANS!)
Anyway, in our case, this ad has backfired. My partner and I had previously agreed that, between contributions for Mary Jo Kilroy, Ted Strickland, Sherrod Brown, and other candidates, we were tapped out. We had no more to contribute.
Today I am going to Brunners's site and putting $100 on our credit card. No, we can't afford it, but call it "sanity money"--we can't afford to let this craziness continue in Ohio.
