Western-Star:
.....Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern predicted that at least $50 million will be spent on the Democratic side alone....
.....When asked about vice presidential candidates, Redfern said he thinks the dream ticket for the Democrats would be Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton....
.....When asked which congressional races in Ohio are truly competitive, Redfern said he thinks his party will capture two of four seats that are currently held by Republicans Ralph Regula, Jean Schmidt, Deborah Pryce and Steve Chabot.....
Besides well-qualified candidates, the Democratic Party has something else that Republicans are lacking------ campaign money. Citizens are not sending much money to the GOP campaigns. After the last seven years of an unpopular president, failing economic policies, failures in foreign policy, the unfunded federal mandates like the No Child Left Behind Act, Americans are running away from the losing Republican policies.
**** I've seen a few commercials for Steve Austria, a Republican running for Ohio's 7th congressional district (replacing Hobson). Austria, according to Project Vote Smart, is against a woman's right to choose and got a 66% rating on environmental issues from the Ohio League of Conservation Voters. Some news reporter needs to ask Austria how long he'd like to keep American troops in Iraq.
