I didn’t see this coming, Mean Jean lost the primary. I don’t know anything about the guy who defeated her.
In other news, Dennis “The Menace” Kucinich was defeated in the primary and Mary Jo Kilroy lost her bid to return to Congress. There seems to be an anti-establishment sentiment in Ohio.
Brad Wenstrup ran a credible race for Cincinnati Mayor in 2009 against the Democrat incumbent, but lost 54-46%. Interesting that for a city of only 300k or so that it will have 2 members of Congress (as Wenstrup is the presumptive favorite in November).
Not much to cheer about as far as I can tell in the reconfigured 3rd (why the OH GOP decided to cede the Democrats a seat in Columbus when they could’ve attached more GOP areas to the existing seat(s), I have no idea). A Black Dem lady won that, and she’ll probably be an ideological twin of the ultraleftist Marcia Fudge from Cleveland.
Well with Jean S gone we should be able to stop worrying about a rat upset in that district. I didn’t know Wenstrup was running against her. If I had I wouldn’t have been very surprised that he won.
Didn’t figure on Kilroy losing (insert Nelson Muntz laugh)
I’m not sure it’s good for us to have the loud insane voice of Dennis the Menace out of Congress. How the hell he did get that hot redheaded wife? I know she’s a commie but she must have hit her head the day she met him.
Joe the Plumber will face (and barring magic badly lose to) Kaptur in the general.
Oh let’s not overlook the GOP Senate primary.
Mandel won with 63% of the vote while intrepid real estate agent Donna Glisman placed third with 12%. I have to hand it to her, she almost edged out the guy I was certain would come in second. ;D
