— DrewM Ohio is one of the classic swing/battle ground states. For liberals to be writing off the Buckeye state in September...well that means things are really bad for them around the country. Really, really bad.
First consider PPP's Twitter note this morning.
Seems strange saying this but really doubt we'll poll Ohio again this cycle
That was striking enough but then there's this from Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic "A Democratic Bloodbath in Ohio?"
In Ohio, it's getting so bad for Democrats that the Democratic Governors Association, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee are actively weighing their level of commitment.Public and private polling from the state suggests that Democrats will lose the governor's mansion, currently held by Ted Strickland, the Senate race (for an open seat that was held by a Republican), and at least four House races (OH 01, OH 15, OH 13, OH 16). Strickland's troubles have surprised some Democrats, since he's seemed to defy gravity for much of the year.
All 4 of those endangered House Democratic incumbents (Driehaus, Kilroy, Sutton, Boccieri) voted for the health care bill. That's clearly not the only factor in their troubles but it's not the lifeline Democratic leaders claimed it would be either (more like an anchor around their necks).
In the Senate race, the RCP average has Rob Portman up by 9. In the Governor's race it's former Congressman and FNC host John Kasich by almost 11.
These are devastating numbers in a swing state like Ohio. If the national committees do pull back or even out entirely, it's because they've essentially decided to build their firewall around, I don't know, Pelosi's district.
As always, this doesn't mean we can let up. It means we're just a step closer to seeing the Democrats vanquished and hearing the lamentations of their women.

Mary Jo Kilroy is a scrunt. I can't wait to see that ugly commie bitch get shit-canned.
As for Strickland, he used to be widely regarded as a conservative Democrat, but he rode the Obama Hope and Change Train straight over the cliff.
Here he is screaming that Republicans don't like America. Lesson: there are NO conservative Democrats. Each and every last one of them is an enemy of freedom and prosperity.

I drove through one of the worst areas of Cbus the other day - Linden. It is so bad down there, but of course it's all Obama worship going on there, too.
Strip malls here in the capital city are either completely empty, or looking at 50% vacancies. There are some pockets of stable areas, like Lewis Center/Polaris area, but places that even just 5 years ago were doing fine are now tumbleweed zones.

No one seems to be talking about those races. I'm a little discouraged that the Rep/Dem ratio for Gov., for example:
O'Malley = 466,207
Ehrlich = 206,839
But then I looked at the 2006 primary and that's actually a little better:
O'Malley = 524,671
Ehrlich = 213,744
I figure Rep primary #s are so much less b/c most cons. leaning voters are registered independents. Also, Ehrlich had an also ran, Murphy, to go against.

I just got off the phone with Daniel McElhatton, spokesman for Delaware Democratic Senate candidate Chris Coons. Although the conversation was mostly about the race against Christine O'Donnell (more on that tomorrow), I asked McElhatton about the comment from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that Coons is Reid's favorite Senate candidate. "He's my pet," Reid told the Hill "We're hoping the Majority Leader will apologize to Chris' wife, because she's the only one who gets to call him that," McElhatton responded with a laugh.

Ohio, Kentucky and Florida were supposed to be "inplay" to hurt our chances at flipping 10. NO THEY WEREN'T AND NO THEY ARENT.
We are on a march of epic proportions- rumors of a Democratic pullout stretching from the Philly suburbs west to the Misssippi. Michigan's governor race is laughable. Wisconsins is about to be. The entire midwest is shaking off Democrats like a gaggle of ticks.
The trick here is to fill the vacuum and EXPAND.
What does a virus do? It infects a cell and uses it to make more viruses to spring on cells nearby. Do that in Pennsylvania-Ohio-Indiana-Illinois, and a 1-state spread out to WV/MD/KY/MO/IA/MN/WI/MI/NJ/NY/DE is easy as shit.

Really? I figured he would have to be primaried or gerrymandered out. What's his district like?
Posted by: AmishDude at September 16, 2010 06:37 PM (T0NGe)
I believe the last time there was a redistricting (gerrymandering) he was the low man on the totem pole of shit so he pretty much got the leftovers. It's mostly on the West Side of Cleveland (although it contains Slavic Village which is on the Southeast side and I guess was considered to ethnically sketchy to include in the "black" district which Stephanie Tubbs Jones had and now Marcia Fudge is the rep) along with Lakewood and a few other west side suburbs. It's pretty much an economic shithole that's never recovered since steel and auto production left the area. Kucinich of course keeps telling the simple fucks that he's fighting to bring the jobs back to the union humps even though he's never done anything to help create a private sector job; in fact he turned down some possible deals and tried pawning it off as "I can't be bought off by special interests" and the commie dumbasses keep buying it. I thought for sure his ass was toast the last time but it turned out there were too many people opposing him in the primary and they split too much of the vote; I'm positive he received far under 50% in the primary. There are no fucking Repubs that can win in the area so the primary is *really* the general election.

If you believe this from Daniel Henninger's WSJ article, I think you can draw the conclusion that the country desperately wants the R's to step up and lead. The R's are the preferred choice, if they'll be conservative. The flirtation with the demos in '06 & '08 was mainly out of frustration with R's acting like demos.

Surely it has to be the inciteful writings of Ace, Dave, Gengis, Maet, Laura et al that has stimulated a blogger to rateAce Of Spades HQ as #2 of the top 40 conservative blogs. A contributing factor could be the ascerbic yet witty commentary of the Morons and Moronettes who lurk here. Could it be the gentle way we re-educate Trolls who wander in and are eviscerated and left with bleeding rectums in the ditch. It is something but most credit has to go to Ace. Way to go man.

He's such a worthless fucking mutt.

Nowhere does the cocksucker mention that he's been in charge for the last 3.5+ years; it's like it never happened. I don't think he's fooling a fucking person except the dumbass donks who were pissed when they changed the voting machines and they couldn't vote the straight donk ticket with one motion.

Eternal vigilance. It is important not to take those "safe" seats for granted, like Castle took his "safe" nomination for granted. That said, probably all that needs to be done in those districts is to run a competent campaign and keep an eye out for signs of strange trouble brewing (like October surprises).

#7, Most of Ohio is pretty red - it's farm country after all. It's only bastions of liberalism like the dumbasses in Cleveland that give it a bad name.
Cincinnati is red. Columbus proper leans democrat but Franklin county (where Columbus is) is purple.
Look at the gun laws in Ohio - you don't get laws like that in a state infested with fucktards like Pelosi.
They got suckered by Hopey-Changey like a great number of other states, and got disillusioned by the 2005 and later Bush Whitehouse (thanks to the donks lies and MFM collusion). Remember they went for Bush in both 2000 and 2004.

If they start seeing Palladino or DioGuardi as some kind of danger to the state, they may turn out. But if they see the Republican candidates as no great threat to their way of life and are in the mood for shaking up things, they may stay at home (some may even vote Republican).

235 For the first time in a LONG time, I agree with the Democratic Party and their new motto: "Change That Matters." They presently control the House, the Senate and the White House. What would 'matter' the most would be to change all that.
Wait-- I keep hearing that doesn't matter. I would like to see a poll of AoSHQ as to what matters more (long-term), purity or a majority. Let's say we get a high number of conservatives, but a low amount of Rs, not even enough for a fillibuster. Is it better to have people that can speak-out against the President & his gang of socialist tools, or people who can actually do something about it?
Or something we haven't thorougly considered-- Washington changes everyone, so what happens when a conservative who we elected takes a position we don't like? Is there tolerance for disagreement, so long as it's not something hardcore socialist?

There once was a Senator Harry,

"After you comes President Barry."
As you said, the last line struggles. Your main theme, Coons as a subserviant cock-sucker, should be extended and works better when he is further tied into President Obama.

However, ever since that Suozzi thing in LI, I've started to have second thoughts. If they can get some momentum and we can actually have a good margin upstate I think NY might be a state to keep an eye on.
There's no reason they shouldn't take the senate this year (the NY state one). With 30+ or so gov's after this cycle, the next set of redistricting maps should be incredibly helpful. Not only does it give us a better in built advantage in the house but making already dem districts even deeper blue makes their local races even more a foregone conclusion and depresses turnout from what it could be.

out of the O'Donnell supporters/tea partiers I would say that about 70+ % are somewhat tolerant of having moderates especially when considering alternatives and the pvi situation they face. Unfortunately that >30% are louder despite being more illogical.
By the way, Silver's model rates the chances of the Ohio house seats flipping as follows:
OH-16 84%
OH-01 81%
OH-15 74%
OH-18 49%
OH-13 22%
Donate/volunteer to make calls/etc however you want based on that. (At this point I prefer aiming for the less probable ones)

295 There's clearly a good deal of us that fall on both sides of that line. And I doubt there's going to be much agreement where that line is. It might not be about Castle/O'Donnell but that's a great case study.
See, that's what worries me. So, in the grand scheme of things, it may not matter that the libs wrote-off Ohio, if we decide to just give it to them. But I really don't know.
Texas (my state) is another example. Perry is running against Dem Bill White, former mayor of Houston. I know some conservatives who are voting for White because they can't stand Perry, or who aren't voting at all. While the role of the governor in this state isn't as strong as it is in others, I'd hate to turn it over to a man like White, who has even bigger socialist tendencies than Perry. (White is also an Obama lover.)

If one goes about it logically, I see moderates either winning by their primaries by slight margins or getting booted-out of office. Meanwhile, expect the Bachmanns, Ryans, DeMints, Vitters, et al to win by large margins.

Wait-- I keep hearing that doesn't matter. I would like to see a poll of AoSHQ as to what matters more (long-term), purity or a majority. Let's say we get a high number of conservatives, but a low amount of Rs, not even enough for a fillibuster. Is it better to have people that can speak-out against the President & his gang of socialist tools, or people who can actually do something about it?
Or something we haven't thorougly considered-- Washington changes everyone, so what happens when a conservative who we elected takes a position we don't like? Is there tolerance for disagreement, so long as it's not something hardcore socialist?
Posted by: Miss'80sBaby at September 16, 2010 08:25 PM (yfJ6g)
Your questions are good ones. They are also irrelevant, now that the primaries are over.
The goal now is to elect every Republican who's running. Any worries about purity or squishiness can wait until the next primary season.

By the way, here's what Wargotz said about the "birther" thing.
"I've never questioned his citizenship or his constitutionality to sit as president," Wargotz said, adding that he doesn't want to focus on the issue because it's not important if you accept Obama as an American citizen.

Yes, Washington does change people, and I think voters need to increase the bar for someone who has been in place a while so he needs to remain in tune with the needs of the day. And the more we limit the growth and pervasiveness of the government, the less draw it will have to spend 50 years there.

I understand. Part of this past week was still within primary season. Then, after the final results of Tuesday night, there's been a day or two of adjusting to the shock (some shocked that their candidate lost, some shocked that their candidate won).
At this point, it's time to shake hands and put aside the intraparty differences and debates. There will be plenty of time after Nov. 2 to revisit those and whip them back up into a frenzy. Right now, since we have the candidates we have and no one has a time machine with which to change them, let's put our focus from now through Nov. 2 on getting this crop elected.

Let me weigh in on this heady issue. Cincinnati is abbreviated to Cinti. Nobody calls it that. The locals call it Cincy. There was a political taxpayer funded anti litter campaign that used this slogan, "Don't trash the Nati." It could be an inner city thing but I have never heard anyone use that.
We have another more localized pronunciation war. We have a small community called Mariemont. Many folks outside the comunity pronounce it marie mont. The locals say Mary mont and don't appreciate the mispronunciation.

LA gets 111 million in stimulus and creates 55 jobs with it.

So extrapolation from LA, we might have created 50 thousand jobs in the entire nation? At the cost of a trillion dollars?
