"A special election

For more than three decades, Ohio's 2nd Congressional District has been represented by men who may be fairly described as Republican patricians. We don't mean that in a pejorative sense. Rob Portman, like Willis Gradison and William Keating before him, adhered to standards all too rare in Congress. They were policy-oriented pragmatists inclined toward the money issues: tax policy, health care, retirement security, economics.

Next Tuesday voters in the 2nd District will go to the polls in a special election to decide who will fill the unexpired term of Portman, who resigned to become the U.S. trade representative.

The June 14 primary produced two capable, and competitive, candidates: Jean Schmidt, a Republican, and Paul Hackett, a Democrat."

1. not really a repug paper

more of a moderate paper,but MUCH MORE liberal then the cincinnati enquirer which is one of the most conservative papers in america. but either way, we need to donate to him and get him elected. i live in northern ky and work in cincy. i think he has a good shot even though it is a long shot.
