Senator Dewine's son is running against Tom Brinkman Jr. in the republican primary this June 14th. Need I say more?
Tom Brinkman Jr. Is running in a special election June 14th in Ohio's 2nd district against Pat Dewine (Rino Senator Dewine's son). District two is a 'safe' republican district, Pat DeWine is a virulent liberal running as a republican, whereas Brinkman is a solid conservative. Lets send a message to Dewine that we don't approve of his actions in the senate regarding judicial comromises, and limp wristed liberalism at every turn.
We have a rare opportunity to show Dewine and the rest of the rino's what we think of them in less than a month. June 14th we need to destroy Senator Dewine's son Pat Dewine by voting for Tom Brinkman Jr. in the republican primary. Pat Dewine needs to be defeated june 14th so get the word out!
She looks like a winner. Pro life and small government too.
And yes whoever wins the primary wins the seat.
Forgive me as a northern Ohioan from butting in but in my opinion I'm for Anyone but Dewine and possibly the check bouncer.
I am also in the 2nd District and Jean looks like the best chance to beat DeWanker Jr.
Yes, Its Portmans seat in Congressional district 2. Wish I could vote over there against Dewine.
I'm in district one with Steve Chabot. Now THERE is a real Republican. Conservative and reliable.
I lived in the first district my whole life and grew up on the same street as Steve Chabot. He is a total class act. Just as is Ken Blackwell.
I would like someone to tell Mike DeWine that if he doesn't get back on the reservation then the Republicans will support Blackwell for Senate and Petro for Governor.
since 5-24-2005
Then go vote for Dewine. Many of will not.
Petro for Governor?
He stood in Blackwell's way of getting the tax repeal directive on the ballot. Why would you want him?
Blackwell for Governor and someone else for Dewine's seat in '06.
Who cares?
C'mon Ohioans; send a message to the old man.
Traitorous jerk.

He reminds me of Tom Coburn and we need more like that who can be counted on when times are tough. I sent him a check a couple of weeks back.
Amen. Pat DeWine has the best name ID in the race. He knows he has to portray himself as a true conservative. Elements of his record on City Council (when he allied himself with a Democrat) and his personal life (when he left his pregnant wife to move in with a p.r./advertisting consultant who was then hired by a large company who wanted a subsidy, and then DeWine changed his vote) call that into question. Also, he is more or less a career politician and as such seems susceptible to an affinity for governemtn.
There are too many non-DeWines running in this race. Some will back McEwen because they recall his fairly conservative voting record and hold little against him for the check-bouncing or the poor campaigns against Clarence Miller, Ted Stricklland, and Rob Portman. McEwen seems to me like a guy who is addicted to power in Washington. The fact that he's lived in Virginia since his defeat in Congress and his work as a corporate lobbyist points to this direction.
Jean Schmidt is conservative, too, (pro-life, pro-gun) but her biggest sin will be her vote for the sales tax increase in 2003.
There are a few other candidates who will attract local (we're talking township-level here, and small ones at that) interest.
Tom Brinkman has a long career in private industry (the printing business to be specific) and has actively campaigned for numerous referenda to limit or lower taxes. He has a solodly conservative record in Columbus, has never voted for a tax increase, and is endorsed by Right to Life and the Gun Owners of America. He also has experience defeating the Establishment's choice for office (he knocked off Joe Deters' hand-picked candidate who got the Party endorsement in the 2000 primary). This is why I am proudly supporting Tom Brinkman.
Portman's district.
After Mike DeWine's vote on judges, why elect his son who just recentyl won a county commissioner race when a solid conservative like Brinkman(pro-2a, pro-life, 100% anti-tax) is running?
As a Catholic, he is opposed to the death penalty. He is also opposed to abortion. He appears to give a higher priority to defending the unborn.
Also, unlike most death penalty opponents, he tends to believe the police who arrest them, the prosecutors who try them, the juries who find them guilty, and the judges who review the evidence on appeal.
You won't find him out at Lucasville the night before an execution claiming that police planted evidence.
Talking to Tom, and talking to my pastor about the death penalty has caused me to think long and hard about it, and my support for it is wavering.
I guess in your book I should just go on over to DU right now.
I can't comment on Jean Schmidt as I'm unfamiliar with her. I respect Brinkman for going to bat for the 2nd Amendment as a true believer(GRPC in 01 during the Hamilton County and Statewide Conceal carry fights). He's walked the walk as well as talked the talk.
Normally I don't jump into other state fights this heavily, but the winner here will affect my district as much as Mike Rogers(my rep) does. Now if we can get rid of Stab-me-now in 06.....
