The Wall Street Journal has gotten it wrong about the race in Ohio's 15th district. Wall Street Journal:
....In other open seats, Republicans have found success distancing themselves from President George W. Bush and his record-low approval ratings. In New Mexico, state senator and Iraq War veteran Steve Stivers is running well against County Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy, who came within 1,062 votes of knocking off retiring Rep. Deborah Pryce in 2006.....
(Eventually the WSJ will find the errors.)
I think there are many things wrong with this paragraph:
(1) Kilroy and Stivers are from OHIO, not New Mexico.
(2) Stivers has not distanced himself from President Bush.
a. Stivers supports Bush's Iraq policies (war without end).
b. Stivers, like Bush and other Republicans, has taken money from oil/energy PACs.
(3) Stivers is not running well. The latest polls show Kilroy with a double digit lead over Stivers.
Voters are not interested in Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, who is a pro-oil, pro-Bush, pro-bank Republican. In these difficult economic times, it is hard to support Stivers who has been a cheerleader for banks/bankers.
Visit the FEC (Federal Elections Commission) to view the oil, insurance, financial/bank, pharmaceutical, pro-business PACs that have contributed thousands and thousands of dollars to Stivers, a former bank lobbyist.
