Fitzgerald is now well on course for a LANDSLIDE victory against the EVIL Kasich.

I am feeling more and more good about Fitzgerald's chances.

Because you're a strange guy.

No, even the R internal has Kasich lead within single digits. I dont expect just like in the case of Quinn, to lead, until he wins final poll on Election day.

Nothing you say ever makes any sense. Also, when are you going to learn how to type?

[Hifly]

Ha, just because you say Fitzgerald isnt gonna win doesnt mean thats the case.

Anyways your insults dont bother me. Its an R internal, of course they are gonna have him ahead.


A PPP poll was just commissioned that had Kasich ahead by 1.

I am literally in the mood to scream at you because you're so [enter appropriate word].
Others here and I have already previously outlined our logic as to why Kasich probably will win, yet you seem to struggle to muster up one sentence that makes sense let alone provide any reasoning for anything you say.

It's not just the R internals that have Kasich ahead you clown; every single non partisan poll has put him ahead by margins that would suggest the race may not even be competitive. Moreover, those PPP polls are fricking D internals as well and are the only polls showing a close race. Engage brain. Think. Learn.

I dont care what others think. Adam and I have our reasons that Fitzgerald will win and thats that, move on.

Explain your reasons. Forget about Adam's. I actually can't wait to see you explain something.

Actually, that's not true. I have a multitude of reasons for why I'm pretty confident of a FitzGerald win and I expressed all of those reasons in the OH gubernatorial polls and in this thread over the past months while the pro-Kasich guys on here who don't even live in the state are just thinking it's as simple as "Well, FitzGerald has been running an awful campaign and he only cares about himself and has no money or campaign and blah blah blah" even though he's been very successful this year for someone who's the definition of a grassroots Democrat.

As for Quinnipiac, they just had Beauprez leading by 1 and they certainly aren't the most reliable pollster in this race so far. We've yet to have a non-partisan PPP poll conducted here, but it is true that PPP had the best record in 2012. Even if you look at 2010, one of PPP's last polls had a Kasich +1 win while Q had it at a Kasich +10 win; in actuality, he only won by 2 and didn't even gain a majority of the vote.

I was asking OC to explain his reasons; I've heard your's time and time again and nobody is buying them.
Excluding Republican and Democratic internal polls, do you have any polling evidence of "a very successful year" for Fitzgerald? He hasn't been polling near where a generic democrat should be in a state that Obama won twice and the RGA isn't even on attack against him.

Unfortunately the dumbass has now deleted his comments so I probably won't get a response from him.

I think it's time for you to shut your rude mouth.

It was a joke.

Driehaus should run for House Minority Leader; it would be great to have pro-life Female Democratic Leadership. Garrison was Majority Leader when Democrats last controlled the House.

I don't see why Lou Gentile would be a stronger candidate than Jennifer Garrison; he's more liberal and represents bluer territory. Garrison has way more political experience than him and held a very red district during her term in the House. She has a track record of being able to gain conservative votes (see her run against Nancy Johnson a decade ago).
Despite what the loons on twitter and dailykos like to believe, consolidating progressive support isn't going to help you win a district like OH-06.

Will Schiavoni stay on as Senate Minority Leader? I would like to see Cecil Thomas or Lou Gentile in a leadership position soon.

It's also been reported that State Dems are taking challenges in SD-09 and SD-11 very seriously. In SD-09 the most popular Cincinatti Republican, Councilman Charlie Winburn, is running and plans to raise a huge amount of funds; Cecil Thomas is unfortunately raising nothing. The deep blue lean of the district should be enough to thankfully save Thomas, who has been endorsed by Pro Life and Christian organisations.

In SD-11, Democratic Toledo councilman, former Toledo Mayor and former State Rep. Jack Ford is running as an independent against Edna Brown, and Dems fear that he may be able to split the vote far enough to allow the Republican candidate to win the district.

What do you guys make of this?

[Hifly]

If Jennifer Garrison is so unpopular, then why the f**k did her colleagues in the ODP give her the huge responsibility of being House Majority Leader

How has Lou Gentile proven that he can win OH-06??

[Hifly]

If Garrison actually opposes raising the minimum wage then that's quite alarming. However, if she was so unpopular and incompetent she wouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the position of Majority Leader regardless of what Strickland had to say.

Her attitude towards Gay Rights and Abortion does not matter in the race for OH-06; it is a socially conservative district and Gay Marriage and Abortion are probably not very popular therein. Garrison is a fantastic candidate in this respect because she needs conservative voters to win and she held a much redder seat than Gentile.

The fools on Twitter and Dailykos are deluded.

The last thing we want is to prove that Fitzgerald is really horny. We don't want to excite Adam even more.

[Hifly]

Does Fitzgerald wear this to church?
