Democrats can win if they run as conservatives. But will they govern that way?

He's a "moderate" which means he's really a liberal. Why vote for him....!

Some may vote Democrat no matter what to teach the liberal Taft administration a lesson.

A John Kerry Democrat? What did he do in Iraq? I smell a rat.

It might be enough just to see the hippylibs freak out when they see a soldier (whom they seem to hate so much) in a position of leadership ... from their own party no less!

He's also a personal injury lawyer. Not sure how conservitive he is but kudos to him for his service in Iraq.

A lawyer. A Democrat. A liberal.

YEs, and spouting against the Schiavo case could
well LOSE him the race, too! The advocates for
the Schiavo family are adamant in their views.

But who's to blame here...the politicians or the media?
I don't recall anyone beyond Jeb Bush going on TV
repeatedly about a situation that developed in the
state where HE was elected governor. If HE shouldn't
speak out re a Florida family facing the legal system,
who should? And WHEN did the Florida Supreme Court
become moderate?

No, he's not, as I'm certain that Steve Buyer served in that other *little skirmish* in Iraq.

A slip-and-fall lawyer who is still wrapped around the axle about the Schiavo case.

I mean the current war, not the first Gulf War. I should have been more specific. Sorry, no disrespect meant to those who served in the first one.

The 2nd District is not going to vote for a 'Rat. Period.

I thought he was American, not "Iraqi"?

The federal government and the Florida state government came screeching to a halt

He certainly sounds like a Democrat.

I respect and appreciate his service to our country.

What will get him vote is his stance on issues.

Being a personal injury lawyer won't likely sell well in Cinci.

If it were columbus or Cleveland, then MAYBE this guy would have a chance...

Not in Cincy or the 2nd District. This is one of the more conservative areas in the country.

It is one of those areas that no matter WHO is running as a Dem, the guy with the R is going to be the benefit of the doubt, and the votes.
