The biggest problem is that he’ll probably draw votes from the GOP. Hope there are no Freepers who will vote for him.

I’m sorry but I don’t share some peoples enthusiasm. Traficant is an obnoxious (and corrupt) jerk with a love for fart jokes. I would rather eat dinner with your average trailer trash than I would James Traficant.

With all those negatives, he’s still more honorable than the marxists in charge now.

LOL Poor Ohio!

OH maybe should elect crooks who've already served their prison terms. I mean, even being from MA, I'm appalled by the corruption, favoritism, and elitism in OH politics.

And people keep voting for more taxes, more useless projects that enrich higher-ups, more things for the government to control. OH does it to itself.

Hopefully he’ll draw from the Dems. He owes them one, does he not?

Ha, I’ve met this guy, he’s a riot. You need to understand the population of northeast Ohio to understand why Traficant got 15% of the vote...from behind bars.
