Cranley to be in "High Spirits"
Jane Prendergast reports:
If the name of the party location has any impact on the outcome of an election, the John Cranley camp will be in high spirits on Election Night - the High Spirits lounge on the 31st floor of the Millenium Hotel downtown.
Cranley, now a Cincinnati city councilman, is trying to unseat U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot.

Post a Comment*Funniest headline I've read all year on this blog. Is that bar owned by Cranley overly-boozed mentor, Tom Luken???
JC may be in "High Spirits" on election night but he is also a disciplined professional (unlike Paul Hackett). So whether or not John prevails on November 7th, I'm sure he will behave with perfect dignity.
(Especially since his mother, Susan, is sure to be present.)
With the headlines of the last several months,in which every Congressional scandal has "alcohol abuse" writ large either in the headlines or just mentioned as part of the subtext.........this certainly hasn't escaped his attention.
So all you politicos out there, watch out for "Demon Rum."
My personal favorite Cranley sightings are in Clifton while he's stumbling back to his car. I guess this Johnny really misses his College days.
Curiously, nobody is talking about seeing Chabot out and about in Cincinnati. Its probably because he is too busy taking cash from lobbyists in DC. I guess Cranley just cares about interacting with regular Cincinnatians while Stevie prefers dining with Abramoff in DC.
But hey, Stevie will have plenty of time to hang out in Cincy after Nov. 7. Somebody tell Mrs. Chabot to get the fish sticks ready, Stevies coming home.
"I guess Cranley just cares about interacting with regular Cincinnatians while Stevie prefers dining with Abramoff in DC."
Or maybe he cares about endangering lives and avoiding DUIs
Are you saying that Chabot is endangering lives by not giving our troops the proper body armor and avoiding DUIs by having Abramoff and his lobbyist friends pay for a chauffer?
Cranley is going to win.
Chabot can finally go mow his lawn.
Charlie Luken's influence is apparent.
Anon 10:32- you're half right. Cranley is going to win. Chabot can mow his lawn.
Democrats will begin investigations of all the corruption and incompetence of the current majority.
Chabot will be cutting the grass in the prison yard.
Do you think Cranley will be falling off his bar stool like he did the last time Chabot beat him? He was so toasted in 2000 that he didn't truly realize he lost till the following evening... Guess history will repeat itself next Tuesday!!
Go JC! Kick Chabutt!
After you've behaved with perfect dignity, then you can busy yourself with making plans for your new office in DC.
What will it be my boy, Longworth or Cannon?
While you're ordering drapes and office furniture from House Administration, you'll get to shop at the most wonderful office supply store in the world...better than OfficeMax, Office Depot and Staples all put together: the House Office Supply Store. There they have deep discounts on Mont Blanc pens,leather briefcases.....all the best things imaginable.
And in decorating your office, beware of the tendency of many/most Members, who treat their offices as sort of mini-Chamber of Commerce's...
So "just say no" to tacky sports memorabilia (some Bengals and Reds stuff, but keep it limited, tasteful). How about a nice print of the Cincinnati skyline, a few photographs of you with some political "notables," maybe one or two of the better Borgman cartoons....
These are just suggestions because you actually get to do exactly as you please.
And have you thought about where you'll live in the DC area?
My advise...choose a building with a 24-hour doorman and an underground garage. That way, your guests, friends and what have you can come and go as they please.
(Remember what happened to Gary Hart and that young lady from boat, "Monkey Business." What was her name again...Rice...something like that.)
Well, if Gary Hart had not had a townhouse that fateful year, ..he might have been President instead of George HW Bush....could have spared us all the trouble of George I and George the Second, the Iraq War and all of that.
What kind of car will have in DC? Here's what I think: don't know if you're a "Ford man" or a "GM man" ...but John Dingell's district has a GM plant in Hamtramck, Michigan.
The same plant produces both the Cadillac Deville and the Buick Lucerne CSX.....so for 26-percent less than the cost of a Caddy DeVille, you can drive basically the same car.
Why do I mention this? Because certainly (especially knowing your religious upbringing), you'll want to "get right with Jesus" by driving an American-made car.
And it wouldn't hurt anything if the car's Final Assembly Point was in John Dingell's district, Hamtramck, Michigan.
Having a Detroit-made car...(and not a Honda from Marysville or wherever) could lead you to other insights..like the need for a US industrial policy, energy conservation (one of your strengths), insights into NHTSA, Auto Safety, the Clean Air Act...
So really there's a lot to do...so don't waste your time with a lot of booze, broads, and other temptations.
(A little is OK, I guess)
On the other hand, don't let anyone pressure you into getting married until you're ready, either. Just remember Richard Russell and Richard Bolling had great Congressional careers...and they never married at all.
Or look at Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts (that is his name, isn't it?). Well that fellow hardly had a date at all until age 40...then ..bam!...just like that, he met an attractive woman lawyer at a party..also aged forty..after three months they tied the knot and soon after imported two adorable blonde-haired, blue- eyed children from South America.
So just like that...went right from bachelorhood to a picture perfect family. You can choose that also, if you like.
Oh. And if you don't win, just chalk it up to an off-year election turnout and saddle up for 2008.
They better make sure all the windows are securely fastened so when the little pipsqueak loses he doesn't try to jump.
Have you ever noticed how Cranley looks like he's literally popping out of his suit? It's like he's so short and oddly shaped, and wears such cheap suits, that he looks like a oblong bowling ball with a tie on! Or maybe the Penguin.
Come on political dorks, let off all your steam on the OH-01 race.
That includes you, former Congressional intern, that acts like you know what you're talking about.
To John Cranley: you've a near flawless campaign. Goof job.
To Steve Chabot: you could have won this campaign in its first month. Instead, you just doped around and waited to see who would boost you up. Now you're going to lose, and you'll wonder all your life if you really were a disappointment to Cincinnati.
To Enquirer: Good job with this blog.
