Meet Mark Weaver. Weaver is an Ohio political consultant who has been around the state for a long time, and had a pretty great track record before 2011.

It has never been a secret in Ohio that there are tensions between Governor John Kasich and Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine. However, earlier this month, DeWine took the squabble public, which Ohio’s press gleefully reported. Democrats and anti-Kasich liberal blogs are now using DeWine’s words against Kasich. The conservative blogosphere in Ohio has reacted unanimously. Some have been long weary of DeWine, while | Read More »
We have been warning about the bad news in the recent polls on Issue 2, and stated why the huge wins they show for the anti-reform side won’t be as big as the polls. Now, the Washington Post is reporting on a leaked memo from liberal mob Progress Ohio to the “We Are Ohio” union front group. They also believe its a LOT closer! An | Read More »
He’s with the protesters in Columbus right now! I thought Jesse Jackson and Danny Glover were bad for union PR, but this? Add another one to the “Stay classy, unions!” file.
