Democrats should attack Republicans

I've read a few posts about a recent candidate forum where there were boos flying from some Democrats toward Brown and Hackett. Look, folks, we are all in this together. Don't attack each other. Attack DeWine and the corrupt Republicans running and ruining Ohio and this nation. I think that would be the grown up thing to do.

There was a program on WOSU called Columbus On the Record. The panel included moderator, Mike Thompson, Mike Meckler, Cornell McCleary, Scott Pullins, and Harvey Wasserman. They discussed the current political climate here in Ohio. Meckler stated that Republican candidate for governor, Kenneth Blackwell, had a lot of grassroots support. Meckler also said that many Ohio Republicans didn't feel that Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) was far right enough on the social issues. McCleary said that the Ohio Republican candidates are moving to the far right.

However, Wasserman said something that has stuck with me, "Blackwell will never lose an election in which he is responsible for the vote count." It is true.
