Brunner Beats Voinovich

PolitickerOH is reporting on the PPP poll that has Jenny Brunner...yeah, you read that right... Jenny Brunner beating The Crying Man, our Senator RINOvich in 2010...

Let's let this sink in for a minute...

JENNY

...

BRUNNER

...

BEATS

...

RINOvich


I just wanted to make sure that our friends in Columbus are well aware of that fact.

By the way, Ham Sandwich says that this is no surprise to him...he's known all along that a he would only be half as stale by 2010 as George Voinovich is right now.

UPDATE: Time to pull out the first Ham Sandwich for Senate ad...





UPDATE 2: This just in...


In response to the reporting from PolitickerOH's Justin Miller indicating that a PPP poll shows that Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner outperforms Ohio's senior senator, George Voinovich, the general chairman of Friends for Ham Sandwich, Matt Hurley, issued the following statement:
Is it really a surprise that even the most partisan Secretary of State in Ohio history can outpoll Senator Voinovich? No. We at the Ham Sandwich for Senate 2010 campaign have known for a long time now that by 2010, Ham Sandwich would only be half as stale as George Voinovich is right now. This poll only confirms what our internal poll suggested earlier this year: George Voinovich is not a tasty candidate. He is, in fact, spolied meat.

Voinovich Makes the List

Over at RightWing News, John Hawkins has asked a bunch of bloggers who their least favorite elected Republicans are and guess who makes the list tied at number nine: George Voinovich. I've said it before and I'll say it again, folks, vote for Ham Sandwich because by 2010, he'll only be half as stale as George Voinovich is right now...

UPDATE: Even Ron Paul (tied for #14) is less annoying than Voinovich...now THAT is saying something!

RINOvich Wants to be Veep

This is downright funny stuff... The Hill asked all 97 members of the world's most debilitating body who are NOT running for POTUS what they would say if they were asked to be the Veep. Here is what The Crying Man had to say:
“Honestly, if John McCain came to me and said, ‘George, I think that you would help me and should be part of my team,’ I’d have to say, ‘Yes, I’d be glad to help.’ The fact of the matter is, I’m worried about our country. I’m really worried. And I want to run again for only one reason, that things are so screwed up, I’m just worried about my kids. So if somebody came to me and said, ‘We really think you could help us do this,’ I couldn’t say no because maybe it’s another way of serving my country and it’s maybe even more important than being a senator. The first question I’d ask is, ‘What role would you want me to play? If you want me to give a bunch of speeches, I’m not the guy. Get somebody else. If you want me to roll up the shirtsleeves, get up early in the morning, dot the I’s and cross the T’s, do substantive stuff? OK.’ ”
Of course, George, if you weren't undermining the nominee at every opportunity...or the current administration...or the conservative base...or Ohio Republicans...

Just remember folks, you do have a choice in 2010...vote Ham Sandwich for Senate, because let's face it, by 2010 Ham Sandwich will only be half as stale as George Voinovich is right now!

RINOvich Update: Kerry-Style Edition

I think George Voinovich just might earn yet another nickname today... Flipper.

Remember the Brent Spence Bridge tolls that he was for before he was against? Well, he's for them again.

Is anybody surprised by this nonsense?

Remember, you do have an alternative: Ham Sandwich. Because let's face it, by 2010, Ham Sandwich will only be half as stale as George Voinovich is right now.

    RINOvich Just Voted to Raise Your Taxes

    ...and if he thought Ham Sandwich wouldn't notice, he's crazy.

    That's right, sports fans, The Crying Man, our Senator RINOvich, a.k.a. The Deficit Hawk just joined forces with Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton to raise YOUR taxes.

    Folks, I give you The Politico:
    With Democrats united — alongside Sens. Barack Obama of Illinois and Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York — the measure failed 52-47, as two Republicans, Sens. Olympia Snowe of Maine and Ohio's George Voinovich, broke with their party on the tax issue.

    Graham zeroed in on the voters in the 25 percent bracket and higher.

    “The current law is 25 percent, and if we don’t pass my amendment the tax will go up to 28 percent in 2011, a 10 percent increase,” he said. “Thirty five percent becomes 39.6 percent. That’s 23 million Americans [who] are going to pay higher taxes.”
    As if we didn't have enough to worry about with the Democrats trying their best to raise our taxes, now we have to worry about RINOvich too.

    Hey RINOvich? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN??? It's almost enough to make a grown man cry...

    UPDATE: I dunno...maybe he was confused like when he was on the Hannity Show talking about the Fairness Doctrine...

    Ham Sandwich Defeats Sen. RINOvich

    This just in...
    A PANERA STORE SOMEWHERE IN OHIO -- The Ham Sandwich for Senate 2010 campaign released internal poll numbers today that showed the challenger defeating the incumbent 69% to 30%. The poll was conducted January 9, 2008 - March 4, 2008 of very likely Republican voters.

    "We think this poll clearly illustrates that by 2010, Ham Sandwich will only be half as stale as Senator George Voinovich is right now." said campaign manager Matt Hurley. "The senator can continue to ignore our campaign at his peril, but we're really cooking and we've only just gotten started. Ham has the fire in the belly to take this thing all the way. Let me guarantee you this: Ham Sandwich will bring home the bacon."

    The poll results can be found at the Ham Sandwich for Senate 2010 website.

    WMD Blast: More Than Kay Rogers News Edition

  • And now, something completely different: a positive story out of Butler County! Amber Ellis, brave reporterette from the Cincinnati Enquirer, files this story on a new bridge construction project that should boost the economy of Trenton. (Bonus: Chuck Furmon is quoted. Which gives me another chance to remind folks that Furmon, the WMD-endorsed candidate, actually understands community development and how infrastructure relates to the overall economy of the area. I'm sure Rawnica has a conspiracy theory for that...)


  • Color me shocked! I actually agree with John Rabenold on an issue: Gambling. Read all three Republican candidates' (35th Ohio House) views on the subject in this Community Press story.


  • Could this be Obama's "Lambert Field" moment? It just might be...


  • Business Courier - "Poll: Strickland, Brown, Voinovich ratings down" - Reality is finally starting to hit Governor Teflon... Sherrod Brown only got elected because he was squared off against Mike DeWine. And George RINOvich has to contend with Ham Sandwich, who has internal polls showing that Ham beats the Crying Man 75% to 25%...


  • Nasty, Brutish and Short: "John McCain Comes to Southern Ohio to Make Peace with Conservatives, and Promptly Throws Bill Cunningham Under the Campaign Bus" - These sorts of rallies need people like Willie...otherwise, they turn in to a big snooze-fest with political geeks and the politicans who love them. Dissing Willie like this is not a good move... I've complained before that Republicans haven't sepnt enough time in southwestern Ohio...maybe in McCain's case, he ought to stay out of sight and out of mind.

    RINOvich Blasts Everybody

    Well, the Crying Man, our Senator RINOvich had a conference call with reporters today. While a good deal of press has been placed on the "Deficit Hawk"'s dissing of Barry Obama -- and a few liberal bloggers threw a hissy over that -- I'd like to apply some sunlight to what our senior senator had to say about Republicans, especially since he wants to "reassert" himself into party politics at the state level.

    President Bush:
    This was not an endorsement, Voinovich said, but merely his assessment in believing that Romney "would make a good manager. I think that's a fundamental characteristic of a president. I think that that's where Bush has gotten in trouble a little bit; we thought he'd be a better manager than he was. Even though he's dedicated himself to management, I think that some of the screw-ups that have occurred have really hurt him. And a lot of Republicans are disappointed because they frankly thought he'd be a better manager. Some of his biggest supporters from the beginning are turned off because they feel that he disappointed them in terms of his management skills."
    Secretary of State Condi Rice:
    "But beyond that I think all of us are concerned about our country. Things are really fragile today in this world. When you think about (it), we're pinned down all over the place, and it's not going to be an easy deal for the next president to come in and deal with these problems. Our public diplomacy is, I think, at its lowest ebb, in spite of the fact that Condoleezza has been trying to do the job, and I think she has.
    Mitt Romney and Rudy Guiliani:
    Asked which candidate he liked from a management perspective, Voinovich -- a former mayor and governor -- said, "Of all the people that are running, the most qualified from a management point of view, there's no question in my mind, is Mitt Romney. He's proven himself in the business sector...The Olympics were really in trouble and they got him involved and he straightened it out... He's got four years of experience in public administration, which is different than leadership in the private sector. So I think from a management point of view, he's got the best credentials.

    "Even better than Hillary," Voinovich continued, "because Hillary was there but she's never run anything. John McCain has absolutely very little experience in terms of management. Rudy Giuliani has experience from being mayor there, he would argue that he's as qualified on the management side as Romney, but I think probably Romney is more qualified in terms of knowing what you need to do if you get to be head of an organization."
    Question: What the &%$$ does George Voinovich know about management? He brought us Tom Noe for crying out loud.

    I continue to be amazed at how little RINOvich places any kind of emphasis on the war on terror considering his place on Foreign Relations. I mean, he's all jazzed about stopping the zebra mussel, but the border fence is a bridge too far... And for Voinovich to criticize ANYBODY on foreign affairs after having cried on the floor of the United States Senate over the tragedy of having to think about the super scary John Bolton representing this county at the corrupt cesspool known as the United Nations is deserving of any and all mockery that the blogosphere can muster up.

    Well, folks, I can now reveal the secret of why WMD has been so quiet lately... I just got back from a quick trip to Dee Cee where President Bush helped introduce the candidate that will BEAT RINOvich in the primary...



    Ladies and Gentlemen of the WMD audience, I present to you...

    RINOvich Will Finally Check Out Iraq for Himself

    Today's RINOvich update reveals that the The Crying Man, our Senator RINOvich will be taking his "deficit hawk" tour to Iraq to finally check out whether or not there are any weapons of mass ballast water threatening American troops. Additionally, it is believed that Grandpa Simpson will also be on the hunt for the real terrorists: Asian carp and zebra mussels. As we all know from last week's lunatic ravings, "INVASIVE SPECIES MUST BE STOPPED" at any and all costs while at the same time it is absolutely vital that we surrender to Islamofascists in Iraq and bring our troops home NOW. This will be George Voinovich's first trip to Iraq.

    A spokesman for the Ham Sandwich for Senate campaign had no comment and the Touchdown Jesus Statue could not be reached for a response...

    Once Again, I Tell You: Voinovich is Running

    Mark Naymik over at OPENERS has the latest piece of evidence that the Crying Man, our Senator RINOvich hasn't got the message that it is time to hang 'em up...
    U.S. Sen. George Voinovich is getting ready for his big day.

    No, he's not retiring after 40 years in politics (though some in the Republican Party wouldn't mind getting a fresh GOP star ready for his seat).
    That would be...uhh...me.
    The former Cleveland mayor and Ohio governor is pressing his best suit for George H.W. Bush's visit. The 41st president is the special guest at Voinovich's Wednesday evening fund-raiser, which is being hosted by Nesco Inc. CEO Robert Tomsich at his Hunting Valley home.

    Tickets range from $1,000 to $2,300. The co-hosts include the usual list of Republican donors: businessmen Ed Crawford and Malachi Mixon; Ohio GOP boss Bob Bennett; insurance executive Umberto Fedeli; and bank executive David Daberko.

    Voinovich is up for re-election in 2010.
    Am I surprised that the Bush family is going all out for this guy? Nope. The Bushes have a thing for hanging out with people they shouldn't. Remember how chummy Bush 41 got with Bill Clinton? Same story here... How well does this stuff go over with the base of the Republican Party in this state? Not very...but as usual, the powers that be don't really care about that any way...

    I'm thinking it is just about time for a YouTube ad for the Ham Sandwich for Senate Campaign...
