Jill from Write Likes She Talks
writes about Bill Pierce Meets the Bloggers. (DISCLOSURE: I am the blog administrator for Pierce for Senate) Demonstrating, once again, the appeal of Bill Pierce to more than just the hard core Reagan conservatives... Jill asks the right questions:
To sum up, I found Pierce honest, specific, intelligent, eager, personable - likeable, not politicky at all. But I'm not going to be voting in the GOP primary.
So, if I were a Republican, I'd be looking hard at the incumbent, trying to better understand, What has he really done for Ohio? What has he done that hasn't been good for Ohio? What does he stand for?
