Boccieri a Coward on Dann?

I wanted to take a second to note this piece over at Stark Politics which raises an important question for voters in OH-16: Was John Boccieri (D-Lives Nowhere Near OH-16) a coward on the whole Marc Dann debacle? And what does that mean for his congressional race?

As the Starkers point out, Boccieri initially defended Marc Dann and his fraternity but then did a 180 once he realized that he was out of step and off message with his Democratic colleagues. But when it came time to be put on the record with a vote, you couldn't find John Boccieri with a search warrant.

If the 527 media in this state was worth anything, they would ask John Boccieri (D-Lives Nowhere Near OH-16) whether or not he supported Marc Dann and his fraternity antics in the Attorney General's Office. Because, like, the people have a right to know that sort of thing for sure...
