Can Mike Dewine be defeated in 2006?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

[President Jesus]

1. get the "washingtonienne" to admit an affair, and his career is over

he hired her, she was working in his office and humping everyone else in DC...

[Botany]

2. Not unless we get a new dem party here in Ohio.

Denny White & David Leland are or were limp dicks. Useless & Spineless.
And we might as well kiss any chance Good bye if Springer runs ..... the man
is scum ..... exploited the poor for fame and money.

:kick:

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

3. How many did Springer sent to Iraq to get killed?

See? It's all a matter of perspective.

[Botany]

4. Springer would be dead from the start.

No his sins pale in comparison to bush..... but his are all on tape.

[realisticphish]

5. at least we have Fingerhut, Coleman, and Kucinich

thats something :shrug:


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

6. Fingerhut or

DeWine in 2000 beat Ted Celeste 61-36. In 2004 Fingerhut did similarly against Voinovich (64-36) against a popular candidate. I think we have a chance if we put Fingerhut or Strickland up to run. Fingerhut had his name on the ballot last time and would do well, Strickland has a good shot as well with him being a former minister, it may help to dilude DeWine's base a bit and his stranglehold in the rural Southeast. Springer should not be even considered. Kucinich shouldn't run either, I think his policy works outside of the Clevland area. The fact that the state party made him Democrat of the year is regretable.


My theory, send Fingerhut against DeWine and Strickland against Blackwater (or whom ever the GOP puts up for governor.

7. Correction

...and by Blackwater I of course meant Blackwell

[Ninga]

8. Believe it or not, Eric has momentum.

He lost the race largely, because Dem's across the state overwhelming voted for Voinovich.

It makes me want to throw up thinking about the Dem turncoats.

Voinovich was Cleveland mayor and Ohio Gov., Dewine doesn't have that history, and I believe makes his seat more winnable.

[Kolesar]

9. Dewine has slept in the Senate for 12 years and has nothing to show for it

To his credit did vote against drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, though. Western lands preservation issues actually play well in Ohio. Our congress members don't risk a "sagebrush rebellion" vote like those in Colorado or Arizona.
