The Dispatch just put out an article that says Steve Stivers flip flopped on stem cell research. If you didn't already think he was shady, now he's playing politics with peoples' lives. I like that the article called Mary Jo Kilroy's support for stem cell research "unflinching." THAT'S what I'm looking for.
Kilroy, a Columbus Democrat, has been unflinching in her support of medical research involving embryonic stem cells. Stivers, a Republican, also has said he favors stem-cell research but, as a state senator, he voted against allowing state bond funds to be spent on that purpose. Stivers explained his vote as a procedural tactic to allow an economic-development package to proceed through the legislative process.

Do you know why Republican congressional candidate, Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, was so upset about the banking reform bill? It stops banks from raising your interest rates on credit cards whenever they damn well please. Stivers, the best friend bankers ever had in politics, continues to pull in political contributions from nearly every banking PAC, bank executive, and finance companies in the country. Bankers want and need Stivers to be their defender against regulations.
I find it very troubling that Steve Stivers has refused to sign a pledge to protect Social Security.

Why has Republican congressional candidate Steve Stivers refused to discuss privatizing Social Security? He has not said he would oppose it. Could he be talked into supporting radical right wing Rep. Paul Ryan's phase out of Social Security?

Ohio: We Ask America, an auto-dialing pollster with Republican connections that occasionally pops up with flurries of polls, rolled out three polls of different House races in Ohio last week. They add one more poll to the heap of doom for Rep. Steve Driehaus in OH-01, finding him losing to ex-Rep. Steve Chabot 51-39. They also find Paula Brooks unlikely to prevail in her right-candidate-wrong-year challenge to GOP Rep. Pat Tiberi in OH-12; she trails 51-34. Perhaps most interesting is OH-15, which I believe is the first poll released of this race, which many Dems have mentally written off already. While they have freshman Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy trailing, it's not that bad, in comeback-able range with a 46-41 lead for GOP rematch candidate Steve Stivers.
