(2) What does a former Secretary of the Treasury think of John McCain? Here is a tidbit from an interview with Paul O'Neill in this Sunday's The New York Times Magazine:
How do you feel about
McCain recently confessed in public that his grasp of economics is limited. Yeah. That’s a great place to start from, isn’t it?
(3) Swing State Project has a few comments about Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy and Ohio's 15th congressional district:
Tier One: Toss-Up
15th District Central Ohio (includes part of Columbus and west and northwest suburbs, Hilliard, Marysville). Cook PVI R+1.1. Bush won 50% in 2004. In 2006 retiring incumbent Deborah Pryce (R) defeated Mary Jo Kilroy (D) by just over 1,000 votes. 2008 congressional primary turnout was 62.1% Democratic. DCCC Red-to-Blue program.
County Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Columbus) is running almost like an incumbent after her photo finish in 2006 and the retirement of her opponent. She has raised an impressive amount of money and has strong support from labor, womens' groups (including Emily's List) and among students, who are very numerous in this district......
Kilroy has better name recognition in the district than former bank lobbyist Stivers.
