Dean: A Very Good Shot at Running the Table in Ohio
Source.
Strong candidates and scandal-plagued Columbus Republicans give Democrats "a very good shot at running the table in Ohio" in November's election, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean opined today.NOW is the time to get involed in the 50 State Strategy in Ohio. If you don't have time to volunteer, you can always contribute monetarily.
At a breakfast with reporters in Washington, Dean predicted that issues that "go to the president's and the Republicans' trustworthiness and honesty and their competency" will trump all else at the ballot box in Ohio and across the country.
Dean said he believes Franklin County Commissioner Mary Jo Kilroy has "a great shot" at unseating House Republican Conference Chairwoman Deborah Pryce of Columbus. He also touted the statewide candidacies of Akron's Barbara Sykes for state auditor, and Columbus' Jennifer Brunner for secretary of state.
Dems are getting a little overconfident about this 2006 race. So much so that they are still not really articulating a clear message to voters.
It seems to be the return of "we're not them," especially with the increase in scandal.
Republicans may win over the state with the same rhetoric they used last time if the Democrats can't produce some convincing rhetoric themselves.
