Democrats = better economic growth than GOP

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has selected John Boccieri as one of ten targeted candidates for its new Red To Blue Program. Boccieri is currently a State Senator and the Democratic Candidate for Ohio's 16th Congressional District, which is the open seat being vacated by Congressman Ralph Regula. The program offers those campaigns selected "financial, communications, and strategic support" from the DCCC. In 2006 the program raised $22.6 million for 56 campaigns.

Dr. Victoria Wulsin is a Democrat running for Congress in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District. The campaign released this music video from a supporter named Ann and it is catchy. Turn up your speakers!

The Hill: The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is touting a new batch of challengers who will face freshman Democrats in the House, striking back at Democratic criticism of their recruitment efforts.
That is some good news for the NRCC which is lagging far behind in fundraising while already facing an uphill battle due to numerous upcoming Republican House retirements. That leads me into this…….
I have to give Dennis Kucinich credit. For a man who hovers at 2% in the polls, he sure can generate headlines for himself. Here is the latest example:
Kucinich asked federal authorities to investigate one of his primary opponents, Joe Cimperman, after Cimperman delivered a "missing" poster to Dennis's Lakewood office. The poster referred to the reputation that Kucinich is building for himself - that of absentee congressman. My opinion of Kucinich has always been clear - he is in it only for himself - but if the people of Ohio's 10th District want to keep sending an embarrassment to Washington, that is their choice. I just don't want to hear them complain about how he is never around. Oh sure, he might show up when a small grocery store closes to preen for the cameras and say he will fight for people, but then he will get on the next plane (or maybe a UFO) to New Hampshire to continue his recount.
In 2006, Dennis Kucinich gave a speech saying that stated the government needs to rein in police powers. In 2008 when he feels the heat at home, things change and he runs to the authorities as a publicity stunt. His change of heart is kind of like how Kucinich was always pro-life but became pro-choice when he decided to "run for president" in 2004.
On the local front, Dennis was finally shamed and pressured into having a debate with his opponents here for the March 4 primary for his congressional seat. He resisted as long as possible this year after refusing to debate his Republican opponent in 2006. We shall see if he actually follows through and shows up.
