Walter Shapiro's Ohio article is useful and informative, but omits a key disappointment: The seat now held by Jean Schmidt. She is the most odious and disgraceful member of the Ohio delegation, possibly of the entire House. Paul Hackett could have beaten her, and should be running against her now. But a combination of miscommunications, Brown's inconsistency, and Hackett's resentfulness appear to have now given her a free ride. This foulup could have been avoided by better management from the DCCC and DSCC.
If a post or e-mail threatens violence, forward it to the police and/or FBI.
This is triviality carried to the ultimate. Haven't you anything better to write about? Maybe next time you can critique the candidates' socks.
McCain-Palin are gaining now for exactly the same reason McCain gained before the Dem convention: He is attacking and the Dems are sitting there like punching bags. If Obama and Biden go on the STRONG AND HONEST attack, they can expose the R tickets fraudulence and win. If they don't, they will lose like Dukakis and Kerry and for the same reason. End of story.
Palin still lies about it. She continues to say she said "Thanks, but no thanks." In fact, she said "Thanks and gimme." She kept the Washington old-boy money and used it for other Alaska projects.
Question for a competent interviewer: "You claim to have said "thanks but no thanks." So where is the money now? You've turned all it back to the Federal treasury, right?
