5. This is very good news.

Shontel will be great in congress.

6. Yes! Go Shontel!

7. Great. It is good to see someone who endorses someone who didn't compare President Biden

to eating a bowl of feces

Unfortunately, the poll numbers favor that divisionary person currently, so it will be an uphill battle

12. Depends who's doing that poll.

Considering she's hired a Natl Polling Group who was formed for a particular campaign, & a High $$$ PR Co (that she owns) & has currently 4 Big Money PACS from outside Ohio supporting her, (not simply those small dollar grassroots she like to claim), it's worth questioning WHO did that Poll for her?

[JohnSJ]

13. You are correct it was a poll paid for by Turner campaign, but it was from a reputable

progressive polling agency, Tulchin Associates a firm that does a lot of polling for progressive candidates, causes, non-profit organizations

That being said, because it was a campaign poll, it is NOT an objective poll from an outside entity. That does not necessarily say the poll is not valid though, because the Turner campaign hired them to provide good information to help them plot their strategy, so I think it would be foolish to not take it seriously.

There are still a lot of undecideds, but the big problem is there are too many candidates, and those polling 1 or 2 percent add up. Unless some of those candidates drop out and consolidate behind one candidate, it will be an uphill battle.

Still it would be good to see what some outside pollsters come up with

14. Tulchin worked for Sander's 2016 campaign before starting Tulchin polling co.

His polling co is much like Data For Progress.

For progressive, by progressives.
The bias is in the wording of their polling questions as well as the data base they poll from. Which is written to give the results a higher # advantage to a certain candidate.

Same thing Yang did in NY.
That's why he was shown to be polling ahead of the others in the start of NY Mayor race.

Google everything.

15. Data for Progress is a very sketchy group

[George II]

17. Data for Progress polls are as objective as that Turner commissioned and paid poll from a week ago.

[JohnSJ]

16. I will feel much more confident if outside pollsters weigh in. I wouldn't necessarily count it

out.

8. Great!

19. How I wish that Secretary Marcia Fudge and Speaker Pelosi endorsed her

too. After all, Pelosi endorsed Joe Kennedy against Senator Markey..

20. Hillary Clinton backs Shontel Brown in Ohio congressional race

Link to tweet

Hillary Clinton has thrown her support behind Cuyahoga County Council Representative Shontel Brown in a special House election in Ohio later this year, setting up a clash with progressives who have endorsed former state Sen. Nina Turner (D).

The former secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said she’s “proud” to endorse Brown in the race to replace Marcia Fudge, who vacated her Cleveland-area House seat earlier this year to become President Biden's Housing and Urban Development secretary.

“Shontel made history as the first Black woman to chair her county Dem party, and she'll work to help her state and our country recover from COVID,” Clinton said in a tweet Wednesday announcing her endorsement. “Join me in supporting her.”

25. Just Us Democrats are irked

I got an amusing email from the Just US democrats. They want money again and want to disrespect Hillary Clinton

[George II]

26. I got that email, too. It uses the typical tired rhetoric that we've seen for years:

Clinton is a "corporate Democrat", Brown is the "status quo", and scattered throughout the email are more "status quo", "Wall Street Democrats", "1%", "establishment money", etc.

What's really interesting is the email dwells upon bashing Clinton and the Democratic Party, but says absolutely nothing about why anyone should support or vote for Turner, and nothing about Turner at all.

Unfortunate that instead of running FOR anything, they bash and run AGAINST accomplished Democrats.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. I was irked at the bashing of the Democratic Party and the bashing of Hillary Clinton

The Just Us Democrats hate Hillary Clinton and regular members of the Democratic Party. The Just Us Democrats are not running for something but against the Democratic Party and in this case Hillary Clinton

28. I like this ad

29. That's "having a spine" "fighting" "holding feet to the fire" and not

bringing a noodle to a knife fight or whatever.
