I don't think Voinovich is too concerned about his reelcetion prospects (given the fact that the dem's are touting Jerry Springer as an opponent). He just believes in root canal economics (ie., pre supply-side days) Voinovich thinks that the deficits cause all economic problems and that they are to large (even though by historical standards they are relatively small. In the Reagan years deficits were ten percent of the economy, now they are less than five.) With that, I hope President Bush can change his mind.

Voinovich is a tax and spend RINO.

He never saw a tax that he didn't like as Governor and nothing has changed.

He and Ohio's Governor are an embarassment to Ohio conservatives.

I think Voinovich is like Nixon in that he fears an uprising of angry liberals who can defeat him. Nixon used to say that a Republican can't win only with conservatives but a Republican can't win without conservatives either. So Voinovich is trying to get liberal support and reasons that OH conservatives have no where else to go but to his candidacy. I understand Springer will not run after all, for he would have to surrender his worthless TV show to do so.
