I work at a university. I was given the site by a liberal activist student.

I try to study the site on a regular basis to see what they are up to. I have been monitoring the site for about a month now. This is the first really strange subversive thing I have seen.


Tonight I noticed this item and thought I would bring it to our attention.

It's a great find. I'm wondering how much "success" they really had. Any way to ascertain a hit count?

[Nasty McPhilthy]

Already done it.

May I just say.. You Guys Rock!

[RealTeen]

The own this site-

http://www.contractwithohio.com/

That's perhaps the most concerning thing because it says just about every major Ohio candidate has signed the contract.

[RealTeen]

Every major DEMOCRAT

[NeoCaveman]

The big dopes are at it again.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Yes, they are on a dedicated server at ev1servers.net (formerly Rackshack) in Texas.

It looks like the gameguru guy is an amature webhost and runs all these company sites. This Ryan guy is the one that looks the most suspicious.

[Tuxedo]

So the question is, what is the "mission" he is handing out? I suspect they have no control over what lists of phone numbers they are given to call. I did this GOTV in Ohio back in 2002 and 2004 before relocating to Texas in 2005. At that time, we worked from a central office in Cuyahoga or Medina County.

[george76]

good idea:

Perhaps Ken Blackwell's office, since he is the SoS.

[RealTeen]

They can now call from home. I'm guessing they'd call people, say they're from the GOP, the folks will believe them because they had to get their number SOMEHOW, and they'd say or do something to try to get the person to either not show up to vote, or to turn against the GOP. It's a simple and dirty strategy.

I seem to remember her saying something that was totally outrageous, but I'm suffering from CRS and can't remember. It'll hit me at about 2:30 in the morning...

The following is a current post naming some names of those popular at this site:

"Pale Ale predictions and thanks
Submitted by staff on Sun, 11/05/2006 - 11:53pm.
I'll take Hypo up on his pale ale challenge.

I'll be doing my Congressional predictions tomorrow. Still pondering a few races...

I'll be at the Progress Ohio offices late Tuesday afternoon doing some election blogging and partaking in some libations. Then I'll be off to the ODP Columbus party at the Hyatt to finish off the night.

But before then, and before traffic drops off the cliff after the election I want to say a few words of thanks and recognize some people who have made BSB such an undeserving success.

First to Paul, front pager and the person responsible for putting the initial BSB installation together.
Ryan for front page posting and interfacing all my hosting needs.
Modern Esquire, whose blogging puts mine to shame. Ted couldn't have had a better netroots booster.
Renee in Ohio for her front page posting on unique subjects and wonderful activism
K&L for designing the BSB logo that helped create the BSB brand
Bryan for his front page posting and exposing Common Sense Ohio nonsense
Lucie for her field report posts
Tim Russo for his help growing traffic early with his controversial style
Jerid for his front page posting and some background help
Brian B for posting up all the stuff at BSB Breaking for me."

[Tuxedo]

Either that or they won't make the calls. If they were to try insulting the voters or the R candidates, they run the risk of being exposed as people would call news stations and the GOP to complain.

[Kev from Ohio]

Instead of Levin saying Get of the phone you dope" we need,

"GET OFF THE INTERNET YOU DOPE"

[RealTeen]

I don't think it matters either way to them. They call in to a radio station and start shouting about anonymous rude GOPers? That might actually fit their intentions MORE.

[scratcher]

Or...We rely on them to make the GOTV calls for certain areas and they are not making the calls.

[Kev from Ohio]

By the way, it is Hughlock Final Word and Irrefutable Proof That Russell and BSB Are Lying Russell Hughlock has proven beyond a doubt that he lies in order to tear down critics of his sponsors. In his final word on his series of lies he has this to say: Whacky Andy is yabbering on about references for some reason. Why would anyone need a reference from someone applying to be a blogger ? All they have to do, and did do, was look at his drivel and realize pretty quickly he isn't mature (or mainstream) enough. Brian Duffy interviewed him on the 19th April, OLE subsequently took a look at his blog - and decided to hire someone else - Todd hoffman. Because I, unlike BSB, like to document truth, I will provide a screenshot of his latest libel: Link to more
