Ohio Senate race
I'm starting this topic because I am seeing ads from candidate Mike Gibbons. He is a wealthy car dealer I think.. Anyway his ads are batshit. He contrasts a group of Christians kneeling in prayer with Colin Kaepernick taking a knee in protest. He says Democrats hate our faith and hate Christianity. Wow.
Re: Ohio Senate race
So he's trying to out-batshit JD Vance and win the coveted orange anointment.
("For completeness," Josh Mandel is presently leading in the polls for the Republican primary.)

Re: Ohio Senate race
And Josh Mandel and Jane Timken are trying to batshit their way to the Orange Endorsement, as well. How low will they go?

The Ohio-based venture capitalist is furious about what capitalists are doing to the heartland.
He’s a poseur in every respect.

Re: 2022 Ohio Senate Race
"Those competing for top billing in statewide elected offices and federal offices usually suck most of the air from the (press) room, relegating lower ballot candidates to an asterisk. We’ll see. So far, Gov. Mike DeWine isn’t wowing anyone with his reelection performance. He’s given interviews without saying anything while trying to convince MAGA Republicans that he’s one of them. That crown has already been claimed by his leading Republican challenger and former congressman Jim Renacci, who has money to burn brandishing his cred as most authentic extremist. "

Re: 2022 Ohio Senate Race
So, we have J.D. Vance, the elitist scumbag and Josh Mandel, the dominionistic scumbag. Hmmm..choice will be difficult between the R's this year.

Re: 2022 Ohio Senate Race
Morgan Harper (D) seems interesting. She is in the primary against Tim Ryan. I like Mr. Ryan, but would also like to hear more from Ms. Harper.

Re: 2022 Ohio Senate Race
Someone please ask “hillbilly” Vance how often he’s crapped in an outhouse.
(For the record, I have an ingrained memory of that unmistakable odor.)

Re: 2022 Ohio Senate Race
Morgan Harper is debating Josh Mandel tomorrow evening at 7. Could be interesting, or disastrous.

Re: 2022 Ohio Senate Race
Her CV is a bit impressive. BA from Tufts, MA from Princeton, JD from Stanford.
She was in foster care from birth and adopted around 9 months of age. Raised in East Columbus. Worked hard, got scholarships, grants, etc. She worked in the FTC and CFPB.
As long as she doesn't hold back, I think she just might run circles around Mandel. Which will just make those who are like him hate her even more.
