Dayton, Ohio is bracing for more layoffs. WHIO-TV has a story about additional layoffs. Here is an excerpt: Officials in the Dayton area warn that a "perfect storm" of layoffs is developing that could wipe out as many as 9,000 jobs....
This must be the "robust" economy that Pryce and the Republicans boast about all the time.
PRYCE IS RELIEVED ABOUT CALIFORNIA ELECTION!
From Ocala.com (by David Broder) comes this tidbit:
So, bottom line, both parties are going into the summer doldrums and the fall campaign with no idea how the midterm battle for control of Congress and most governorships will turn out.
The last big round of primaries, held in eight states on Tuesday, only added to the confusion. When I bumped into Rep. Deborah Pryce, chairman of the House Republican Conference, in the Capitol - 36 hours after Brian Bilbray had managed to hold a normally safe Republican seat against a fierce Democratic challenge in a San Diego area special congressional election - I asked her how she was feeling.
"Relieved," was her one-word answer. And when I inquired about her own election situation, she ruefully said, "Fine, except I am from Ohio"-a reference to the scandals that have enveloped Republican Gov. Bob Taft and created problems for Ohio's GOP ticket...
Are we to feel sympathy for Pryce? Didn't she create her own problems by associating herself with DeLay, Bush, Ney, Hastert, Rove, Noe, and the rest of the corrupt GOP? Why didn't Broder mention the rest of the Ohio scandals--coingate, election fraud, bribery, golf trips, etc???
I don't think she should feel relieved. Mary Jo Kilroy is a great Democratic candidate and she will provide Pryce with the political fight of her public life.
