Lee Fisher's grandstanding on Cash for Clunkers program

I noticed that Lee Fisher's new webad on our front page is a call-to-action on getting additional funding for the Cash-for-Clunkers program.  But it looks like nothing more than phising for potentional voter data for its database.

Sure, it calls for lobbying both of Ohio's current Senators to support the additional $2 billion in funding for the program pending in the U.S. Senate.  But Lee Fisher's, and his supporters', support for Cash for Clunkers is entirely unnecessary.   As the Columbus Dispatch has already reported, both Brown and Voinovich have stated that they'll support the additional funding already.

So, the mission was already accomplished before it even began.

This is nothing more than Fisher feeling the political winds on his finger and taking pitiful grandstanding route to associate himself with the political fad of the moment.

It's cynical and shameless.
