Ohio to lose seats

``But if you ever banned air conditioning,'' Bennett added, ``I think people would flock back.''

In an AP wire story today, the Chair of the Ohio Republican Party, when asked about the country's changing demographics, was quoted the above. It reminds me of when Reagan said, "With enough shovels ."

Typical Republican thinking; "can't think about ways to move forward; gotta suppress something out there." Let's outlaw air conditioning. Then maybe then bunches of Republicans and NASCAR daddies would flood back to Ohio?

2. A state that sends Jean Schmidt to Congress needs *less* representation

Ney and Pryce, too.

3. At least against Pryce we have a legitimate competitor

Go Mary Jo Kilroy!
Mary Jo is running against Pryce. She is a tough competitor and experienced political professional.

4. Ney also has a legitimate contender

Zack Space has had life long campaign experience and an experienced team backing him. Ney will not be returning to congress next year.

5. Your right about Ney

After checking things out I have decided to support Space for the Democratic nom. I think he represents the best chance we have ever had to defeat Ney.

Bye Bye Ney!
