Ohio Republicans Out of Touch

>With the death of Republican Rep. Paul Gillmor, some Ohio GOPers are clearing the way for Bob Latta to be the party's nominee in the upcoming special election (BG News). Latta's father once represented the district and now, in keeping with Ohio Republican tradition, Latta will once again run for the seat (even though he lost to Gillmor several years ago by 27 votes).

>Looks like I won't be attending this function (Bucyrus Telegraph Forum):
For tickets, contact any central committee or Republican women member or call 419-562-8922.The annual pork chop barbecue and auction sponsored by the Crawford County Central Committee and the Crawford County Republican Women, will be 5-7 p.m. Saturday at the Crawford County Conservation League, 3477 Ohio 98....
What do you think is the average age of the members? By serving only pork chops, it automatically eliminates certain ethnic groups from joining this group. Isn't that interesting.

>It appears that Republican Rep. John Boehner is still being criticized for his comment that the deaths of Americans is a "small price to pay" for Iraq.
