At Ohio Daily Blog you can find out how to vote for your choice of ads to air during the Superbowl. Rosemary Palmer (D-Cleveland), who is trying to unseat Dennis Kucinich, is running the contest.

Bill Sloat from the Daily Bellwether passed along some information on how you can prank call your friends with presidential candidate Mitt Romney's voice.

OH Dave of Into My Own recently interviewed Jane Mitakides and Dave Estrati. both are trying to replace incumbent Mike Turner.

Over at the Ohio Daily Blog Jeff Coryell recaps the Democratic blog responses to Bush's last State of the Union.

Jerid over at Buckeye State Blog hatched up this post yesterday trying to figure out how Ohio's superdelegates are leaning heading in the Democratic Primary on March 4.

Superdelegates consist of governors, congress members and party leaders. Jerid says that a majority of the superdelegates seem to be leaning toward picking Hillary Clinton or are completely unknown.

With Dennis Kucinich dropping out of the presidential race, he may focus more on his attempt to keep his 10th Congressional District seat. Retaining that seat may be a tough job in itself. As noted in Political Science 216, the Plain Dealer endorsed one of Kucinich's rivals, Joe Cimperman. Poly Sci didn't think the paper went far enough.

Buckeye State Blog has a good post about why Ohio matters — The Road To Ohio — after Super Tuesday. Delegate counts and analysis, it's all there.

Outstanding. Long Live the Village Green found a site–I'm sure there are others out there–that matches my beliefs on issues with those of each of the candidates. I won't divulge the candidate with whom I am most closely linked. That would show my bias, wouldn't it.

Also, Political Science 216 tells us that Obama is running television ads in Ohio. That's cool, but why isn't Hillary here yet, or John, or . . .

Boring Made Dull made a good point about this blog:

relax the best post “of the day” requirement, and supplement with posts that may have been on the shelf for a couple of days. This would do two things: provide a more constant stream of material, and allow inclusion of good material that wasn’t the best of the day on that particular day.

Thanks, I will amend the thinking behind this endeavor and look for the best out there whenever it has been posted. (BTW: I will get a blogroll going.)

I hope what I post here will be of benefilt. It IS similar to Carnival of Ohio Politics, but hopefully will be different, too.

I believe the real adventure (tooting Ohio.com's horn here) is the new site politics.ohio.com on which Kyle Kutuchief and Ben Keeler are posting in their new blog the point. If this works, I believe it will give visitors a great source/mix of both news (from around the state) and commentary. I believe we, as a news site, have to make it work. Enough said.

Keeler Political Report has the inside track on the Clinton/Obama bickering/race/political reality. I realize this isn't about Ohio, but it will be soon. And this is an interesting perspective, but Mr. Obama already knows all of this. Doesn't he? (Disclosure note: Ben Keeler has agreed to blog, with Kyle Kutuchief, for an Ohio.com site, politics.ohio.com. Links to my blog will also be located on that site.)
