Updates from Here and There

>>> Sarah Palin doesn't know much about geography. Last time I checked, New Hampshire was located in the the Northeast (Daily Kos & YouTube):



*** It appears that the nearly bankrupt NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) is pouring big, big money into the Columbus media market to try to win Ohio's 15th district for Republican Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist (DailyKos). Stivers, who is a big supporter of Bush's economic policies, is running a smear campaign against Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy. In these tough economic times, do we really need someone like Steve Stivers who has been a cheerleader for banks, payday lenders, and oil companies?

>> Republican Rep. Steve Chabot (OH-1st) is in a tough campaign with Democrat Steve Driehaus. The NRCC in pouring in money in a desperate attempt to help Chabot's campaign. In the past President George W. Bush has personally campaigned and attended fundraisers for Chabot. Will Chabot's personal ties to Bush hurt his re-election? Do you remember when Chabot voted against children's healthcare to side with President Bush?
