Mason, Ohio: Democratic goldmine?

The fact that Mayor Mark Mallory went to the Urban League headquarters in Avondale Thursday afternoon to wrap his arms around Ted Strickland endorse his candidacy for governor sort of falls into the category of Dog Bites Man.

After all, the Strickland campaign has more endorsements than Hershey has candy bars.

What was more interesting was where Strickland was headed after his lovefest with Mallory - due north on Reading Road to Mason, one of the most solidly Republican suburbs in the state.

Why, you ask, would Ted Strickland waste his time in Mason?

Because he had a fundraiser scheduled there.

Strickland brought along David Leland, the former Ohio Democratic Party chairman legendary for his ability to raise lots of money. As Leland said Thursday at the Urban League, he has signed on with Strickland to "help him raise a buck or two.''

If there is such a thing as Democratic campaign money in Leland, trust us, Leland is the only bloodhound who could sniff it out.

You did a poor job, Wilk, of covering the Mallory endorsement. We were there and your post clearly demonstrates that you have chosen to either toe the Enqueer party line or your own submissive party line.

You would rather attempt to shed a bad light on Strickland than to report how the pay for play politics of the wrong wing will soon be dead in Ohio.

You need to be more careful what you say at press conferences, you never know what snitch may be there !

Maybe Howard is a racist ?

He certainly did everything he could to defeat Mallory !

Now he is doing everything he can to suppress the positive things about his endorsement of Strickland.

Howard, Howard, your becoming a KKKorte clone.

You are earning no respect.

Perhaps that's why you look so shabby in public.

You have no respect for yourself.

Then to think a polished black man can gain so much respect in our community, It must be killing you !

Glad to hear Mallory endorsed Strickland. At least he did something right!
