Dayton Daily News: Jacobs Can Win in a General!
In OH-02, it's Endorsements Gone Wild!
(EGW: HA, that would be a kick-ass video . . . Sinnard showing off his stones . . . Parker trying to get girls to do things for beans . . . Thor trying to convice chicks he is on the West Wing . . . and Vic and Gabby in the Hot Body Contest.)
Endorsement Update:
Sinnard: Cinci Right to Life
Wulsin: Cinci Enquirer, Tyrone Yates*, Catherine Barrett*, Priscilla O'Donnell*, Cecil Thomas*, David Crowley*, Laketa Cole*, Nathaniel Jones*.
We have to put an astrisks (*) beside many of Vics endorsements, cause she has a tendancy to suggest endorsements she has not recieved.
Thor Jacobs: Dayton Daily News, John Cranley, Cecil Thomas.
Here are some highlights from today's Dayton Daily News Endorsement:
HEADLINE: Our view: Jacobs best bet in crowded field
Of them (the five people who are seeking the Democratic nomination), the person in the best position to take advantage if Democrats have a shot in the fall is Thor Jacobs . . . He seems to have the most sophisticated campaign operation and has made the most progress in winning endorsements from people known in the district. He can articulate a mainstream Democratic philosophy. . . Democrats need to put their best vote-getter forward . . . Mr. Jacobs seems to have the best start on making the fall race.
. . . Jeff Sinnard and Jim Parker, believe the best chance for Democrats in this district lies in moving to the right on issues such as religion, abortion and guns.
Dr. Victoria Wells . . . might need a more compatible district.
Public-school teacher Gaby Downey has been credited by her opponents with making a good public presentation of the issues.
*****UPDATE: Just got this from Jacobs For Congress Campaign:
Labor steps up to offer support for Jacobs:
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 212; the Plumbers, Pipe Fitters & Mechanical Equipment Service Local 392; and the Roofers Local 42, all of Hamilton County, have all also enthusiastically endorsed Thor Jacobs in the 2nd Congressional District Democratic primary. In additional, Boilermakers Local 105 of Piketon, Ohio in Pike County located at the far Eastern end of the district is lending Jacobs its support.
"Thor understands the real issues working families face today," said William Koester who is Business Manager of Plumbers, Pipe Fitters & Mechanical Equipment Service Local Union 392. "We need an independent, intelligent Congressman like him in Washington, fighting to protect us, not the profits of CEO's."
Jacobs is the only candidate that has received any labor endorsement in this race for Congress.

knocking on doors is important.
(note to ohio campaigns: it only works if you hire re:organize to manage your field program.)

editor (hearts) thor!
or is Bryan still getting too high on blow to realize that Ohio elections ARE rigged. No he'd rather manipulate and take advantage of grassroots volunteer's valuable time so he can rake in a bunch of money JUST for himself.
Bryan misleads volunteers with meaningless poll results to get them pumped-up to work, work, work. But when push comes to shove, Bryan abandons good purposed grassroots people after his "field work" actually proves to be ineffective and results in worthless losing efforts.
Yep, that's the kind of outfit I'd hire ... one that claims to be great but loses election after election. All hail Bryan, the new king of a continuous line of Ohio Democratic Party 15-year losers
Oh, I forgot ... Bryan doesn't work directly for the ODP ... but Bryan sure as hell acts just as arrogant as the ODP's spineless (election losing) so-called professionals.
listen here you pathetic fuck. i don't know you. you don't know me. you don't have a goddamn clue what i do or what results my teams have achieved. so kindly shut the fuck up.
I'll be here: http://www.buckeyestateblog.com/node/692
and here: http://www.buckeyestateblog.com/node/830
BRING IT ON FOOL !!
Bryan Clark
vs.
Dave HickmanI don't know what you kids' deal is . . . but I know Bryan, and I can assure you that the work he does is top-notch, and any campaign that hires him or re:organize has invested in an asset.
I am particurally impressed by Bryan's ability to balance "the grassroots movement" and "politics as usual" with re:organize. His ability to overlay specific information into a useable and beneficial coordinated program is the best I have seen.
The sooner Ohio democrats 'see the light' and fully invest in a quality field program early in their campaigns, the sooner we will end the 15-yr Demo-drought.
I love that Thor was endorsed, but what is this supposed to mean? You can't move to the right on "religion"! Was the Daily News missing a third point to make a 27-9-3 Statement?
97X . . . BAM
It stands for 27 words, 9 seconds and three prongs. It's jargon my boss uses to say that most quotes follow this format in order to best convey their idea to a group of people.
It could just be something my boss says in order to convey an image of mental superiority over others. I personally do not know if other people use this.
I.E. Jeff Sinnard received the Cincinnati "Right to Life" endorsement last month because he is pro-life, he lives in Anderson Township, and he is an Elder grad.
Note: This is in no way an insult to Mr. Sinnard. . . except for the Elder part.
97X . . . BAM
I had no idea . . . but that makes perfect sense.
"I never heard a good idea I didn't steal" - Alan Harvard
Looking at that Survey USA Poll . . . Jim Parker has the best Name ID . . . he has the lowest 'Unfamiliar' % of any Dem!
Thor has the highest 'Favorable' and lowest 'Unfavorable' . . .
. . . Vic comes in 2nd in 'Favorable', and highest in 'Unfavorable' . . .
Thor and Vic are tied in the 'unfamiliar' catagoy.
Also says only 2% of people don't know who Mean Jean is . . . she certainly does ONE THING WELL: POLARIZE PEOPLE!
Love her or hate her, you know who she is . . . Kinda like OJ I guess . . .
oops . . . I mean O.J. . . .

evil editor, you're getting very sleepy. thor is a great candidate. he will win the primary and the general.
*snap*
taking hickman's side?! that just hurts.
By the way, I think everyone here handled that all rather well.Nope ... Bryan didn't handle it good ... he was completely unjustified to insult the largest and most effective election reform and election protection group in the state of Ohio. Until we meet again Bryan, simply understand that we remember things for a LONG time.
-SMACK-
just for the record (sweet jesus...), i never attacked real election protection activists -- or any organization. i did, ahem, express my personal opinion about bob fitrakis. that's the problem w/ some activists -- they can't see where they end and the organization/cause begins. don't conflate the two, hickman.
oh, snap! (crackle and pop)
Who the hell are you ???
The king of election losing field work and a highly paid blowhard who exploits generous grassroots volunteers.
All hail Bryan ... the scumbag patronage profiteer
at least he used alliteration in his pseudo-chomskian comeback.
good times. (and apparently high times for others...)
With all those unfamiliar numbers, even for Schmidt and McEwen, I hope for my districts' sake they purposely asked the 600 dumbest people in Clermont County.
97X . . . BAM
. . . want . . . to . . . comment . . . hurts . . . not . . . to.
and step it up if he's gonna play.
THAT would kick ass!!
(Aaah-ha-ha-ha thunder! Aaah-ha-ha-ha thunder!)
(Aaah-ha-ha-ha) Thunder!
Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!
I was caught .... in the middle of the railroad tracks (Thunder)
I looked 'round... and I knew there was no turnin' back! (Thunder!)
My mind raced... and I thought 'What can I do?' (Thunder!)
And I knew... there was no help, no help from you! (Thunder!)
Oops, I mean stuck in my head.
(okay, that was really bad, I just couldn't resist)

That's an awesome picture, but he probably should have cropped out the Confederate flag in the background.
97X . . . BAM
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooowwwww
The Confederate Flag should never be overlooked. It's a symbol of racism, repression and murder.
