Cook Political Report: OH-6, Strickland's district, is one of 2 Dem tossup

[Kolesar]

...seats that are in play this year. Following on Cspan2.

1. We're risking a lot

having him vacate his house seat to run for governor.

OTOH, his district was gerrymandered to turn it R. There were Dems who helped negotiate that move, along with the one that eliminated Tom Sawyer's seat.

Those same Dems (who also support Repubs who run for state senate and rep seats) are now in charge of you-know-what.

2. OK, help me out here, I do not do well with cryptic messages.

Please name names.

4. "shorthand"

I agree. Shorthand does not facilitate discussion. I have no idea what is implied here either.

3. Tom Sawyer

Sawyer should run for something. He is a decent man and an astute policy maker.

5. Tom Sawyer

I would appreciate if someone would do me the favor of telling me how to contact Tom Sawyer. I did a web search a couple of weeks ago when he was being trashed by Labor, but was unsuccessful. Thanks.

6. I'll let Huck know

8. google search

unfortunately, this is not a direct route. I wish he had a website or something.

[Kolesar]

9. the 411 link

is probably him. How many Thomas C. Sawyers might there be in Akron?

[geiger]

10. oops

sorry bout that. I went right to the second link and forgot to go back to the first. thanks for your trouble.

[Kolesar]

11. Glad to help ... eom

[geiger]

12. Alas,

the number is no longer in service. old-time thugs are threatening him, perhaps?

7. Cook Report

From a Kos poster:

It is hard to take this too seriously when Cook refuses to call even the PA race as leans Dem with Casey holding a 20 point lead.

Now, maybe he is saying it is too far out to tell, but if so, then why release this in the first place?
