Betcha didn't know Mike DeWine has had his butt kicked several times this year, including a third-place HUMILIATION just four weeks ago, did ya? Thanks to media laziness, almost no one does.
Four out of the five times Mike DeWine was involved in ballot-based county endorsement proceedings, he failed to win. He LOST in Knox County (to Pierce), he LOST in Clermont County (to Pierce), he FINISHED THIRD as noted above in Fulton County (Pierce tied with another candidate), and he could only tie Pierce in Preble County. DeWine's sole win was in Miami County.
The grass-roots does not like Mike DeWine, and I mean REALLY doesn't like him.
The grass roots is responding to Bill Pierce who, as you can see if you read his Statement of Principles, is a genuine and articulate conservative and will be the citizen legislator our Founders envisioned, in the mold of a Coburn or DeMint.
Bill Pierce needs our support.

Mike DeWine has only two allies: Apathy, and Inertia. Bill Pierce can crush both of them on May 2 if we support him now, and if Ohio conservatives turn out and vote the issues in the voting booth. Let's roll.

I will do my part.
I tell this now and then:
Back in 1968 in California, we had a "RINO" senator named Tom Kuchel (pronounced KEE-kl). He was appointed to replace Nixon when Nixon became VP, and then got re-elected twice on his own. We decided he had to go. So we ran the more conservative Max Rafferty, the controversial State Superintendent of Public Instruction, against him in the primary. Max won the primary. However, he lost to the Democratic State Controller Alan Cranston in the general election. Cranston severed 4 terms before retiring because of ill health and age.
We cut off our noses to spite our faces, but boy were we ever principled.
I plan to vote Pierce in Hamilton County.
Don't live in Ohio but GOOD LUCK!!!
Whoever runs the Ohio ping list, ping everyone! If you already have, disregard my post.
I sometimes think this website is attracting pathological manic depressives.
I am voting Pierce.
