Nov 2014

Former Governor Ted Strickland, Rep Tim Ryan, and former Sec. of State
Jennifer Brunner. Now with the radical gerrymandering most congressional
races are next to impossible to win but at least we needed to put up a fight ....
republicans voted to try to take away overtime pay in spring 2014 that alone
could have really hurt them ..... but in statewide races we had a much better
shot because we have more Ds then Rs in Ohio.

Kasich has tons of dirty baggage but our "liberal media" in Ohio helped to all
but guarantee his re-election. Also having Ed F all but quit the race in August
didn't help either.

BTW Dem. Jennifer Brunner won her race for judge in a day of overwhelming
repug wins.

Mark my words Kasich will be the republican nominee for POTUS in 2016.
