Cautiously Optimistic

A story in The Other Paper, has the results of a recent poll on OH-15. According to the article, which quotes an article in Roll Call, a recent poll shows Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy within three points of Republican incumbent, Deborah Pryce. The Other Paper article is not available online. For those in Columbus Ohio, the article is on page 9 of the March 30th-April 5th edition of The Other Paper.

Meanwhile.....
From the Columbus Dispatch:

Aides to U.S. Rep. Deborah Pryce have blamed an incorrectly addressed letter for delays in federal help to cover the costly response to central Ohio’s 2004 highway shootings.

But someone in her office knew Franklin County made a request as early as May 2004 for Justice Department grants to cover about $700,000 in sheriff’s department overtime, county e-mails show....

...County Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy, who is challenging Pryce in the Nov. 7 election, said the seven-term Republican fumbled a chance to deliver for her district...

"It’s the taxpayers here who are paying for it," said Kilroy, a Democrat. "Franklin County taxpayers are picking up expenses that could have been reim- bursed and should have been reimbursed."

The arrest of Charles A. McCoy Jr. in March 2004 ended a string of shootings along central Ohio highways. McCoy is now serving 27 years in prison...

Why can't Pryce help her district? It appears that Pryce just can't deliver anything for her district: no reimbursement, no jobs, no new industries ---absolutely nothing.

FYI: I am NOT a paid blogger for anyone opposing Pryce. I pay for my own internet service. I am just an ordinary, life long Democrat who lives in OH-15.

Matt Stoller has the following information:
According to Zogby, Sherrod Brown has taken the lead.

U.S. Senate - Ohio
Sherrod Brown 45.9% (41.3%)
Mike DeWine 37% (37%)

This contrasts with February's Rasmussen poll, where Dewine was up 46-37. It also doesn't square with Dewine's SUSA uptick over the past month

(We need to think positive about this, folks. Thanks, Matt.)
