Thanks, Dave.

He decided to do it, huh?

[EBH]

Really torn on this one.

I heard him on Bob Franz show months ago discussing this.

Yet...ugh...I’m just not so sure he is the best we can do.

Portman is a good conservative. As a congressman, he was fine. But I’m afraid on a larger scale, how won’t be exciting enough. Don’t know about Ganley. Obviously, I’ll support either.

[bilhosty]

not from Ohio, but I think I would stick with Portman.

[Right Wing Assault]

It’s amazing there are two Reps to choose from.

[mak5]

Ganley isn’t exactly a ball of fire, either. I’ll be sticking with Portman.

[Clintonfatigued]

A car salesman for Senate?

Ganley has a good name in NE Ohio, If he can peal some of the rancid Rat vote in the Cleveland Metro. I think either he or Portman would be better than Voinovich, and I know they are better than the knuckle head Fisher or Frau Brunner.

I give Tom a lot of credit for deciding he’s running. However, to me Portman should be the choice.

I think having a Ganley at the forefront of turning Cuyahoga County away from all the problems the Machine has created is of much more importance.

Time to get rid of all the crap that have buried this area. Time to get true conservatives into mayor’s offices and in key positions of power locally. That’s what Ganley should do....

[haircutter]

Portman is a professional politician, It time for a change, don't care for that phrase but lets look for new blood and not same old, same old !!!

was a Buckeye for 54 years I miss Ohio...

[Jim from C-Town]

Unfortunately I have little Hope for a Republican in the Mayors office. Quite honestly as a resident of Cleveland. Jackson isn't doing poorly, he is a damn sight better than the last two mayors. The services in the City have gotten better and he has organized many of the city services in a better and more streamlined way. We have certainly done worse, and nobody is going to beat him in the election anyway.

As for the county. I have little hope that a republican can get elected county wide all that often. The idiots that live in this area will vote for anybody with the D after their name. The best hope for the region is the elimination of some of the 52 municipalities in the county and the elimination of CMHA.

Sorry, I’m 100% behind Rob Portman to replace Georgie ‘Cry me a River’ Voinovich.

He’s the ‘real deal’ for anyone that considers themselves a ‘conservative’.

[Retired COB]

A car salesman for Senate?

He'd probably be the most honest guy there.

[88keys]

YES, this creates a bit of a dilemma!

I sort of think Ganley should stay NE-Ohio based to start (does anyone know him outside of Cleveland area?)...what district does he live in? Maybe he should run for U.S. House Rep.? Because I think Portman is quite well known across Ohio already, he seems pretty reliable on the issues, and he has an excellent resume (not that that means much in Minnesota - aargh!!!)

OTOH, Ganley might be just what we need...a p.-o.'d conservative car salesman (tranlate "highly successful business man" until Obama entered stage left with his economic "fix") from the scandal-ridden Democrat strong-hold of Cleveland probably would be the most honest guy in the "august body"...LOL! Great line!

[88keys]

Kudos on your great one-liner! ;)

(just had to send the "personal" compliment - FReegards!)

[Clintonfatigued]

“He’d probably be the most honest guy there.”

You’re probably right.

[nomad]

Any real info on how conservative he is?That Portman`s web site cites his former alliance with the Nature Conservancy,its a radical eco-wacko group that supports Tax and Trade.I know I`ll not vote for any CINOs ever again!
