The Debate

Newspaper columnist, Jonah Goldberg, thinks that young people have abandoned President Obama in favor of the old, white, pro-business, anti-minimum wage, anti-health care Republican Party.  You have to ask yourself why are  Republicans trying to discourage young people from voting?


Last night's debate between Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland and John "Lehman Brothers" Kasich was very interesting.  Strickland looked cool, calm, and in control of facts.  Kasich was flailing around the podium repeating the same lines about his plans, of which we've seen no written evidence.  Kasich also showed that he wants to abandon local control of schools and consolidate many school districts.  Kasich knows nothing about education, yet his massive ego allows him to think he is some expert.  Voters must keep in mind that Kasich's only business experience was at a firm that cheated retirees and investors of their savings and retirement funds.  What kind of business experience is that?

You know that Kasich ad that has the unemployed steelworker in it?  That spokesperson is not a steelworker and has a police record.  Even though the Kasich campaign said the ad would be pulled, it continues to run.
