The Ohio Democratic Party is poised for a huge victory in November. Not only are we leading in the polls for most of the statewide races, but also Ohioans simply trust and support Ohio Democrats more than they do Ohio Republicans. The recent Ohio Poll, conducted by the University of Cincinnati, showed that Ohioans trust Democrats more than Republicans, on tax policy, economic policy, government spending, public education, job creation and fighting corruption in the government. The Ohio Democratic Party has been working hard to guarantee our success in 2006. This weekend over a thousand volunteers placed over 100,000 phone calls to Ohio citizens. Phone banking and canvassing will continue everyday until the election. In addition, John Kerry was here last week to rally our supporters. Senator Barrack Obama will be in town tomorrow and President Bill Clinton will visit Ohio towards the end of the month. This will be a monumental year for Ohio Democrats. This November we will Paint Ohio Blue and Turn Around Ohio. www.paintohioblue.com Thanks, Todd Hoffman Online Communications Director Ohio Democratic Party Thank you for focusing on Ohio politics tonight.

I doubt you'll see an ad this year touting a political party. This midterm is about single party rule and the broken trust Ohians have with the rulers. First they ran away from the disgraced Taft name, then they ran from Noe like so many rats scurrying for cover, now we have Foley. Once one of Deborah Pryce's 5 best friends in Congress, Deb is now "cutting and running" from her friend in an attempt to hang on to power. The real question for Ohio voters will be whether or not they want to continue with a crop of leaders that will protect a predator of children in order to maintain power or elect new leadership. We are left asking: This is the party of morals and family values? It has become almost comical in the state. 88% voting in support of Bush is not a strong record for the people of central Ohio. No amount of calling yourself an "independent voice" will change that.

She doesn't run on her record because her record is that of the last 6 years of the Bush administration. She attacks, attacks, attacks, and if you look at the facts her attacks are almost always completely untrue. She has failed her constituents on the issues--especially Social Secuirty privatization (for it, against it, for it, against, etc.)--and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, Dennis Hastert, and Mark Foley. She is a consistent vote for Big Oil, drug companies, and the corporate owners of the Republican Party. Her priorities are wrong for the United States, Ohio, and the 15th district. That's why come this January, Mary Jo Kilroy will be representing the people of the 15th in Congress. Deborah Pryce has run an incredibly negative campaign this year.

Deborah Pryce is a good representative for Ohio, and I believe she will be successful on election day. While democrats are running "I'm not Republican" campaigns this year throughout Ohio, Pryce has a strong record for the people of central Ohio. There are many other races in Ohio that your readers might be interested in - The OH-06 along the Ohio River is considered a close race (the district when very narrowly for Bush in '04 and the seat is open thanks to Congressman Strickland running for Governor). The OH-02 around Cincinnati is another race that has generated a lot of coverage since 2005's special election to replace Rob Portmann ended closer than pundits expected. The OH-12 features former Congressman (from long ago) Bob Schmansky running probably the strongest anti-war message in the state against incumbent Republican Pat Tiberi. And, of course, all the statewide races are more competitive this year than they have probably been in 12 years. There are literally hundreds of posts about many of the races in Ohio at my blog lincolnlogsblog.com Thanks for looking at the Buckeye State.
