Not a shock, but still damned depressing. I doubt this district in its present configuration will ever elect a Republican again.

I hope that you are wrong. Those of us here in KS-2 put up with Nancy Boyda (D-KS) for two years, but managed to send her packing this time around - 2010 will not be a Democrat year.

Kilroy is an avowed leftist. A BIG leftist. This is a bad loss.

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You’re wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I’ve got a secret I’ve been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don’t be surprised
I’m just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I’m not a robot without emotions-I’m not what you see
I’ve come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I’m not a hero, I’m not a saviour, forget what you know
I’m just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem’s plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I’m Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Ultimately, this is a result of Brunner's intervention and the overall effort to steal Ohio from its own voters.

These provisionals now need to be accounted for and a determination if these voters are real or memorex. How many of these votes represent people with address that are park benches or YMCA's.

Republican's have a tendency to call enforcing the law "sour grapes" but to those who would break it.. it is called justice.

Brunner added 200,000+ voters to the roles that were identified as problems and then banned any attempt to use the States systems to cross reference these people's identities.

This could be done because the Democrat Attorney General has no interest in actually enforcing this law and thus no one else had "Standing" to do this.

The Ohio Republican party didn't use the horrific scandal that brought down the previous Attorney General to take back this critical office and thus, we are saddled with another Democrat Attorney General.

Ohio Officials who commit serious offenses or defy the will of the People cannot be recalled by election. This leaves Impeachment. Impeachment by the Ohio Legislature requires an impossibly high threshold so that only the previous Attorney General caught in several egregious and blatant sexual harrassment and malfeasance situations simultaneously were enough to get the legislature to start moving.

Alternatively, in Ohio, we can impeach by petition of the electorate. Odd.. but number of signatures is achievable, less than 700,000. In this situation, the charges stated in the petition are tried in the State's courts rather than the Legislature where rules of evidence matter and a conviction is not a political statement.

Nevertheless, I don't know if this procedure has ever actually been used, or what it takes to get a conviction and remove the office holder.

There are some who say Brunner will lose anyway in 2010, but they are not taking in account that She will be in control of that election too.

Another day, another Democrat day for election theft. This country can’t take much more of this.

...the downside of running a guy nominated by Democrats at the top of the Republican ticket.

The good news is that off-year elections tend to go against the incumbents. And we’ve already started a nice trend against The Messiah.

When the wave hits, all those close districts go one way or the other. This year and in 2006 they went the other way but the next two lean towards us. We just need a candidate who is a recognizable Republican and as conservative as possible.

OH Dems are becoming as corrupt as the Republicans they replaced. The Dem AG and SoS allow voter fraud. Plus they use state resources to investigate Joe the Plumber. Total outrage. The OH-15 is a classic bell weather district. Bush barely carried it on 2000 and 2004. Considering how sharply OH turned to the Dem side in recent years, it was remarkable Stivers was competitive.
