Last night I attended the Geauga County,Ohio,GOP annual Lincoln day dinner.Senator Mike DeWine was the key-note speaker.At the VIP hour prior to dinner,I had the opportunity to get five minuets of face time with the senator,whom I have supported in past elections.I have recently had second thoughts about supporting the senator,primarilly because of his independent positions on several positions,ie,capital gains and death taxes,and drilling in ANWAR.Now this was supposed to be a festive occasion celebrating the great President Lincoln,so I was not too rough with my questions. However,I asked the senator why he voted against ANWAR drilling,when about 55 GOP senators,including the two from Alaska,were firmly in favor? He jumped on me in a very defensive manner and asked"what about all the other good things he had supported?He accused me of being a one issue voter and stated that he could retire without regrets,and did not need my vote!"After dinner,during his speech,all he did was promote himself by listing all his grand achievements,especially getting two conservative Supreme Court Justices confirmed!! This was to be a tribute to the great Abe Lincoln not a fest for Mike DeWine.I would have been less turned off by DeWine if only he had had a simple conversation regarding a very simple question I asked him.Instead,he practically ranted when I challanged him and accused me of not letting him speak!! I do not want to lose the senate majority,but I find it very difficult to support Senator Dewine.

Sorry,never was a good speller but am a worse typist! Thanks for the laugh.
I will no longer do that. I won't vote for McCain even if that hands a win to Hillary. I won't vote for Arnold even if that hands the governors job to a Dem.
Vote third party. I am tired of electing liberal Republicans. Yes, we might get a Democrat senator; we might also get a wiser Republican Party.
Sounds like DeWine is not the kind of person who deserves re-election. Vote for his opponent in the primary.
Must we support a Republican no matter what, simply because he's a Republican? Do I have to go along with Schwarzenegger's increasingly bizarre and counter-productive actions (he just reappointed Joe Nunez, one of the architects of the defeat of Arnold's agenda, to the state Education Board), as long as he keeps the 'R' by his name?
Exactly!
So in other words, your vote is guaranteed and he knows he can do anything he feels like doing and still get elected.
And people wonder how we got to where we are . . . . . . .
Please stop wasting your vote!
He doesn't and I will.
"Not voting beats suppoting rino everytime."
I don't think it does, although I used to. I voted for Arnold here in California, although he is quite too liberal for me. He is hundreds of thousands of times better than having Gray Davis in, tho, and those were the choices. I don't think being a purist works. Well, I think it is a Pyrrhic victory. You win, you stay pure, you lose int he end.
I will no longer vote for who can win, for now on I will only vote for who should win. Rinos are as badas rats.
As will I, unless there's an acceptable 3rd-party choice.
This is your chance.............
If you don't run I'll vote for Gary Burbank
I'm not throwing away my primary vote.
May 2nd, I'm voting for Bill Pierce.

I will vote for the true conservative in the primary. I will be in a bind when it comes to DeWine. I told him I wanted him to give me a good reason to vote for him.He could only argue and disrespect me.His dem opponent is even worse.
These guys forget who they work for and get too comfortable.
