Republicans galore

It looks like more than a fair share of Republicans will be jockeying for congressional and general assembly seats in March. According to the Hamilton County Board of Elections, as of Thursday:

-Three Republicans were planning to challenge Republican Jean Schmidt for her 2nd Congressional District seat. Tom Brinkman, Phil Heimlich and Nathan W. Bailey. So far only Victoria Wulsin has filed on the Democratic side.

-Two Republicans are facing off so far for the 30th district race for state representative: Richard Hammersmith and Bob Mecklenborg. The winner would likely face Democrat Bob Klug.

-In the 34th district, three Republicans have filed: Greg Delev, Russ Jackson and Peter Stautberg. Only one Democrat: Jeff Sinnard.

-And in the 35th district, it's become a three-way Republican race between Grace Kendrick, Ron Maag and John Rabenold. No Democrats have filed yet.

Incumbents Jean Schmidt and Bob Mecklenborg will embaress their right-wing nut job opponents. Let's hope Heimlich is off of the Lindner family payroll. Someone please find these hacks day jobs. All R's will have a tough time beating the D's though...especially Jean.

Is Peter related to Julia? Seems like an easy question for a reporter to ask and have answered.

Brinkman will have no problem with the Indian Hill limo-liberal Wulsin, The Open Society Candidate.........HOW IN THE HELL DOES SHE GET THE IDEA THAT SHE CAN RELATE TO ANYONE EAST OF THE LITTLE MIAMI?????????

The line down at Ethel's Tavern is 30 to 1

Usefullidiot,

You have lived up to your name. Wulsin grew up in East Cleveland. Hardly "limo-liberal" territory. She's weird, sure, but certainly not a "limo-liberal"-- anyone who has been to her house can attest to that.

The thing hasn't been remodeled since 1972.
