District 2
On day five of the Wulsin Retraction Watch, ANOTHER endorsement listed on the WWWWWW has now been revealed to be, ahem, incorrect.
Today, the Thor Jacobs campaign issued the following endorsement from Cincinnati City Councilwoman Laketa Cole who has been claimed as an endorser by the Wulsin campaign:
Cincinnati Councilwoman Laketa Cole Joins Council colleagues in endorsing Jacobs

So, that makes DfC, HCDP Nominating Committee, and Laketa Cole. How many more "endorsements" will the Wulsin campaign have to (silently) retract?

Only media endorsements have influence

Why would any Ohioan endorse someone who courts white racists that display the Confederate Flag in Ohio. First, didn't Ohioans fight a Civil War to stamp out that symbol? Second, didn't a large majority of Ohioans take part in the Civil Rights movement to stamp out that symbol? And finally, don't you think George Bush and his right wingers are truly nuts to go overboard courting this sort of "stars and bars" folks at fundamentalist churches and NASCAR races?
D'oh

You're like Homer Simpson bryan, check the facts before the attacks and quit posting the Confederate Flag in photos of candidates you support. You're not showing that you're observant or considerate.

wulsin can't seem to get much right this primary season. her latest mailing apparently violates fec guidelines regarding disclosure. farmer vic has a pretty mail piece, though.
Ok
