Better Option

[richlevy]

Well, he has to be better than this guy.

Josh Mandel is the Republican Ohio state treasurer running against incumbent Sherrod Brown. I watched this video and was both amused and appalled.

I mean, REALLY!!?? This is the best that the Republicans can come up with for a Senate seat in a major swing state?

Rule #1: Never try to limit yourself to talking points when dealing with an editorial board.
Rule #2: Never try to lie to guys who know the facts.

Fact check: While concessions were made, Delphi employees did not 'lose their pensions'. I believe that there was a reduction, but nowhere near as bad as what would have happened if Delphi had gone bankrupt. Mr. moron....er... Mandel's "I'm so upset about this one side issue that I would have made a decision that I'm not actually stating to you" argument won't fly. His granddad was UAW? If he's still alive I hope he never sees this video.

Hey Maineiac! Long time no see! Hello.

As to Mandel, I honestly havent paid much attention to him. He seems so irrelevant against Brown. So i have no idea what polls or opinions are prevalent.

I live in a fairly republican part of Ohio. Do you think Mandel is in the running? I see a lot of yard signs for him here.

Would love to hear your opinion.

I think that is a symptom of a lot of spending to unseat Brown. I also see more Romney signs here in Pennsylvania than Obama signs. I wondered why until I saw an interview with the Obama campaign in which they essentially said that yard signs were 'old media'.

Personally, I think that's a mistake. There is a sense of being a part of something when you pass a yard sign supporting your candidate.

I live in republican corner in Ohio, there are a lot of Mandel signs here but I am sure if I went up north there would not be near as many.

I live in Lebanon within walking distance from the Golden Lamb and took these pics of the prep for his appearance.





This was days after the Democrats had a pile of horse manure dumped in the parking lot of their headquarter just outside of Lebanon.

Really? Kewl! I live about 15 minutes away.

We were camping at Cedarbrook Campground (you probably know where that is) on the rally weekend. Some of my friends got tickets and walked over. I was going to go, just for history's sake, but the kids had homecoming and I had to get them ready. Yeah, despite our camping weekend. Like I said, we live close. For us camping = partying our asses off with a bed nearby (in an RV).

Mandel is just creepy to me. He reminds me of the dude in the HBO series Big Love - whatshisname - the guy who took over when old Roman croaked, the one who was having gay sex in the park. Alby. Creepy. And I generally vote Republican, so sue me.



And as such, I was very dismayed about the manure dump. Very childish.

so, you're suggesting this was evidence that Romney supporters had recently been there?
