I find it funny that Josh Mandel came to Wood County on a "jobs" tour. Mandel is good at putting on a hard hat, but he isn't very good at showing up for his current job. As treasurer, it took him over a year to show up to his first meeting of the Board of Deposits, a monthly meeting he is supposed to chair. He took six months past the deadline to file a personal financial disclosure report and he has hired unqualified college buddies to work in his office (some with 6 figured salaries). Instead of parading around the state trying to look like somebody who creates jobs, Mandel should first prove to us that he can actually perform his current job. In the private sector, one doesn't ask for a promotion unless they are doing a good job in their current position. Meanwhile, Sen. Sherrod Brown shows up to his job every single day, fighting for everyday middle-class Ohioans. Mandel should learn a lesson from his opponent: Actions matter much more than photo opportunities.

Mister Ermie. . . The Plain Dealer investigated Senator Brown's attendance record and concluded: "Sherrod Brown's attendance record? He's had few misses"

Mandel hadn't shown up for job even prior to committing to his Senate run (which was so soon after assuming the Treasurer position).
You might not like Sherrod's votes, but he shows up to work. . . Mandel doesn't.
Excellent case for voting Mandel!
his current job. He has missed a lot
of meetings and he has appointed a lot
of friends to high paying positions.
I see absolutely no reason to even
think of voting for him for the U.S.
Senate. I think that Sherrod Brown has
done a good job representing the people
of Ohio.
I'm just curious what Josh Mandel's "solid background of experience" is. . . What are you referring to John?
Could it actually be that the executive class was given tax incentives beginning with the Reagan Regency to *break* unions and move to countries where niggling things like unions, minimum wage, and health and safety regulations aren't there.
In fact, it's why the oligarchy in the form of the Kochs and ALEC is attacking the public unions, the EPA, et al -- they want to turn the US into a Third World nation while they sit back and rake in the billions.
He's done *nothing* as treasurer, and as you've read in the other posts hired his buddies for which they have *no* business being in their jobs -- just like Shrub did in putting incompetent party hacks in charge of vital agencies.
It is too easy, seeing your curious phrase "Obama loving" and thinking of your other blog posts to substitute for the first word a word beginning with "n."
I have one reason....; She-rod Brown cast the deciding vote for Obama Care. I'd rather Mandel be absent and NOT vote, rather than vote like THAT!
Another career politician who is good at spending others peoples money. Brown need to work in the private sector and pay taxes for a while.
As a "career politician" he does have one of the better track records at doing the hard work of governance.
His wife Connie, is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and now freelance columnist.
Both are rock-solid, down-to-earth folks as opposed to Joshie, who'd sit down with you only if you had a check in your hand for his political machinations.
How about if Marion Berry, the former crack smokin' piece crap, If he moved to BG, changed parties. And and got his name on the ballot. Would you vote for this scum-bag over Sherrod Brown John? I bet you would, because you are typical of Wood County Republicans. They vote for anybody, whoever has the big R next to em. Matters not what they've done, just so they are Republican. This is why Randy Gardner gets his votes, to stay in Washington. Yuk.
What curdles my milk is that Randy's flip-flopped from the House to the Senate so many times I can hardly remember which chamber he's in!
Time to get rid of this career party hack by voting for NB's Jeff Bretz this November! Let's get someone from southern Wood County in Columbus, and maybe the Other Wood County will get some attention other than BG/P'burg/Maumee corridor!
Spoken like a true blue, dyed in the wool UNION man! And, with an attitude like this, you wonder why jobs are being sent over-seas? If I were a corporate manager, I sure as heck wouldn't want people with such viral hatred working for me. No, I’d rather send the work to China, and they’d be happy to have it.
It was caused by an economist by the name of David Stockman, who theorized that if you moved all manufacturing overseas, turned the country into a service economy, then gave massive tax cuts to the wealthy, those riches would eventually trickle down to lower classes.
We all know how well *that* worked, don't we? *Three times* the GOP has done this and all it's done is made the rich richer, the poor poorer, and killed off the middle class.
The "trickle down" theory is so bankrupt and contrary to fact, so NOT what doctrinaire capitalism is about, that it needs a massive media-created alternative reality machine, as well as massive overspending by anonymous advertisers to sell its case, and its lies. Oh, wait, that is exactly what is going on.
If that thought gives you comfort "sweetie", then please due enjoy it, (but you know it ain't true).
It would be even nicer if he had more experience in office before gong to Washington. why send a private to do an officers job.
