Just a few things to say....

* Our national election is just 69 days away. Americans have to decide whether they want to continue with the failed policies of the Bush administration that John McSame has endorsed or to vote for change.

Does the Ohio GOP know how to operate within the law?

* We've had people in our neighborhood passing out campaign literature for Mary Jo Kilroy, Democratic candidate for Ohio's 15th district. They've flooded the entire area.

* I was talking today with someone about who they were planning to support in November's election. She said she can't afford to vote Republican. She also mentioned that, unlike John McCain who owns 7 houses, she has always been a renter. By the way, there is a bumper sticker out there at Irregular Times that would be appropriate for her and others:
I can't afford to vote Republican (Stick
