Howard Dean is now out as the head of the DNC and now we got Tim Kaine poised to take over the party. I think Kaine is an excellent pick. He has great fund raising potential, and it might help keep Virginia blue. But over on the Republican side, things are more interesting. It looks […]
Last week, two election workers in Ohio got sentenced to 18 months in prison for rigging a recount in the 2004 presidential election. Now our new Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner has asked the election board members to resign or be fired: All four election board members for Cuyahoga County, troubled by recount rigging charges […]
There is a lot of talk going on right now about Michael Steele and what his future holds. There has been talk of him joining Bush’s cabinet and even talk that he might replace Ken Mehlman. With all that speculation, there seems to be something missing. We have another out of work politician that has […]
I just got back from voting and we suffered from a “glitch”. As I was voting, my ballot started off with governor and then worked down through the list.

We’ve talked with him personally and come away impressed […]

It is the “get out the vote” campaign. Republicans target key demographics on the days leading to the election and on election […]
A front page story in Today’s Cincinnati Enquirer shows how desperate Ken Blackwell is to win: With Republican Ken Blackwell trailing by double digits in almost every poll, Blackwell’s campaign Tuesday tried to link his Democratic opponent to child sex predators – and the state Republican spokesman even raised questions about Ted Strickland’s sexuality.

Strickland keeps moving out in front of Blackwell, now with his biggest margin yet: Democrat Ted Strickland has a nearly 2-1 lead over Republican Ken Blackwell with three weeks left in the race for governor, a poll released Wednesday shows. The Quinnipiac University poll found 59 percent of likely Ohio voters favored Strickland, a Methodist […]
Today is the big day in Blue Ohio News, the day where we find out Bob Ney is out. The interesting part is that Ney is trying to pick his successor: In a heavily Republican district, Ney reported last month that his own internal polls had him clinging to a 4-percentage point lead; Space said […]
