>>> Cincinnati.com reports that the Ohio Democratic Party held a planning session for next year's elections. Some tidbits include----
....There was no end to toilet jokes about State Sen. Jon Husted, the Kettering Republican who is running for secretary of state. Democrats have argued that Husted doesn’t really live in the Kettering home he lists as his legal addresses, although the Republicans on the Ohio Supreme Court recently ruled that he can claim the Kettering address as his home. State Rep. Jennifer Garrison, the Marietta Democrat who is running for secretary of state, delivered a warm-up speech where she assured the Cincinnati Democrats that “I get a shower, use the water, and actually live in my residence.”
Redfern, in his warm-up speech, chimed in, getting a big laugh when he said that “in six months, Jon Husted didn’t flush his toilet,” a reference to the absence of water usage in Husted’s Kettering home.
“Please support Jennifer Garrison, if for no other reason, every day that she is home, she flushes her toilet.”
HA! Husted still hasn't answered his critics in his "home" district of Kettering concerning NCR's move out of Dayton. Did the fact that Husted spends so little time in Kettering the reason he was blindsided about NCR's move out of the area? Has Husted lost touch with his constituents? Now that Husted is spending so much time visiting the entire state, have the people of Husted's "home" district fallen by the wayside?
> Hold onto your hats, Pilgrims! The Republicans are planning an "Economic Forum" to compete with President Obama's jobs summit. (Note: The difference between the President's summit and the GOP "forum" is that the President's efforts will produce jobs. The Republicans will just use their old rhetoric.)
RTT News:
After labeling President Barack Obama's plans for a jobs summit at the White House as nothing more than a publicity stunt, House Republicans announced they would hold their own forum focused on job creation Thursday.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced the summit Wednesday saying he would be bringing together several leading economists to consider policies that could jump start job growth....
Boehner and the Republicans will come out the same old Republican strategy to start job growth---- tax cuts for the wealthy, tax credits for businesses, reduce capital gains taxes, etc. There will be no new ideas from the Republicans. Nothing. Zippo. The Republicans will repeat their same old worn out phrases and old fashioned ideas.
