Columbus -- ...Brunner, a Democrat who strongly criticized Blackwell's operation of the office during her campaign, said she called Blackwell two days after the election, but he didn't call back...

"They were promising me some good things," Brunner said. "When I asked for personnel and contracts, they shut down."...

She wanted to offer interviews to 66 nonclassified workers who might want to keep working for the office after Blackwell's departure, but couldn't do it until she figured out their e-mail addresses on her own. Brunner said her first e-mail message was blocked but a second one got through after she sent it from a different address...

"I have 14 months to work with boards of elections and prepare for a presidential primary," she said. "I have no time to wait."

uncovered in relation to his 'reign' in Ohio.

but I can't wait till this butthead is behind bars.

Even if it is stalling to make Mrs. Brunner's job more difficult and to make her less effective. Hope she remembers this when it is time to redraw legislative districts.

So thoughtful of him.

Can't wait until he's gone.

Kenneth Blackwell
Katherine Harris
Bruce McPherson

and hopefully we can get at least two on this list in prison soon!

It is hopefully a fitting reminder to the Rethugs that if you try to game the system, you WILL pay the price!

(although she may run for the state legislature in a special election which will occur if a GOPer who was arrested for domestic violence resigns.)

All of these bad SOS's have what some perceive to be traits more associated with progressives in common...

Kenneth Blackwell
Katherine Harris
Bruce McPherson
Mary Kiffmeyer
Cathy Cox

Kenneth Blackwell is Afro-American
Bruce McPherson is from the otherwise very progressive town of Santa Cruz, CA
the rest of them are women...

Please urge your fellow citizen to look closely at who they vote for SOS before they vote and don't get taken in by "they're not a wingnut" rationale based on these sorts of characteristics when voting for them next time. SOS is an important office. Look closely at the individual, not what they "appear" to be. Condi Rice is another example of this principle.

n/t

can't wait to see who they are.

She has been a judge and is an election expert. Between her and Mark Dann (the new A.G.)
lots of the dirty players in Ohio must be sweating bullets.

And she has promised an open on honest clean and verifiable for in '08.

I hope at least one of Blackwell's former staff spills the beans on Kenny ....

Now that's mature. It reminds me of something my prepubescent daughter would have done.

When I read something such as this I truly wonder how they ever conned anyone into thinking they were the "grown-ups?"

.. a bad sport and has a lotta stuff to shred and cover up.
Ugghhh.

I used to post it all the time back in the day after the '04 election, when we (in the Election forum) were all over the fraud in Ohio...




After him losing this year, it's never been more relevant. :bounce:


(ps: if you don't know what "pwned" means, google it)

I love that one!

And the orders he received for making it effective.
