Dispatch from the Jennifer Brunner Courage ExpressSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 04/26/2010 - 22:14.
Dear Norm, I've been traveling Ohio on our silver school bus that we bought on eBay and our supporters named "The Courage Express." What's it like? Well, it's a little bumpy, as school buses are, but it's one of the happiest times of this campaign. We have mobile wi-fi on board, for one thing. And my amazing campaign staff has configured the bus like a first class section of a train with seats that face each other between table tops braced with wooden 2x2's. When my friend Chris Stucke in Mandeville, Louisiana saw a picture of this shining silver beauty that my mother showed him, he counted the windows and declared, "That's a big bus!" Chris is a bus driver in Louisiana who has kept a correspondence going between a school girl originally from Akron and me, so I take Chris' assessment as a supreme compliment. More candidates should get to do what I'm doing--seeing people in their hometowns, listening to their stories and ideas and taking them to Congress with them. They've promised me after the primary that they'll bolt down a couple of recliners in the back and put speakers on the bus so we have nonstop tunes. Rick's already put together a great playlist. As we continue our tour these next 8 days, keep a watch out for our bus, and if we're stopped, come say hi, and we'll show you how we're seeing the great people of Ohio. Here is our schedule of bus tour stops over the next three days:
Monday, April 26 - Knox County Tuesday, April 27 - Wood County Lucas County 1:30 - 2:15 pm Lorain County 5:30 - 5:50 pm Cuyahoga County Wednesday, April 28 - Athens County 6:30 - 7:30 pm 1:00 - 1:45 pm Marion County More stops will be added soon. Go to TheCourageExpress.com for more information.
Hope to see you soon,
Jennifer Brunner

Great HEADER get out the vote for BRUNNER
It's nice to be able to start the day on a hopeful note :)---
Hopeful Notes: Check out "Romeo & Juliet"
Hopeful Notes: Check out "Romeo & Juliet" - the new Rocket From The Tombs video - nothing makes me more hopeful about Cleveland than seeing David Thomas share his homegrown genius with the world!

And then I cry more... and I wonder if even Brunner can make a difference here

The Plain Dealer sure wants Fisher.... er a Republican
4 more years of the same old crap for Ohio - the PD proposes... "Lee Fisher has 'commanding' lead on Jennifer Brunner in Senate race, new poll shows"... an article where the only thing really leading is the poor journalism
After the primary is over and they have ruined Brunner's chance to save the region, the PD will recommend voting for a Republican... (I wouldn't finance a used Hummer from these Republicans).

And if Ohio Mainstream Media had a brain... and was honest
And if Ohio Mainstream Media had a brain... and was honest... "it" would endorse Brunner for US Senate, over Fisher and the Republican.
Too bad they aren't honest, and don't have brains.

I wouldn't finance a used Hummer from these Republicans
Actually, after taking a look at who the Republicans are fielding to replace the fossilized remnants of Voinovich, after he is finished combusting in Washington, the GOP candidates are not acceptable.
I wouldn't buy a car from auto industry millionaire Ganley... go to Detroit and fix your industry and stop asking for bailouts from citizens...!
Wat to show Ohio is progressive - Yes, let us send a used car dealer to Washington.... what interest rate are you paying on your 8 mpg Suburban, unreal NEO... 24.9%? Thanks Ganley!
And, speaking of bailouts, I saw in coverage of a 2009 City Club debate, reported in the Plain Dealer, clear proof Portman is clueless about the economy - DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT GOT US IN THIS MESS - BAILOUTS FOR REPUBLICANS:
Okay, so he will fix Ohio by taking part of a "$139 billion bailout" from Obama, reducing revenues for the struggling state, and giving corporations a bailout (which are not asking for such a bailout, except in Country Clubs, perhaps). Great strategy for a Republican that put us in this mess in the first place.

Sutton all the way--Ganley is old dinosaur
I wish I could vote for Betty Sutton--she's amazing.
Rufff - Ganley tough on crime
Rufff - Ganley's tough on crime... thats is all I know, because some TV station keeps putting him in "public service" announcements about that... does he pay for these political endorsements...?
Can you think of any bigger crooks than the people dealing cars and auto financing all these years...
I wonder how many poor people have had their cars towed because of Ganley and the sucker lemons and deals his dealerships put them behind...
Rough.... rufff
