The Lee Fisher for Senate campaign has been one long, disgraceful slog thus far, with Lee needing to empty out his already small war chest to beat back a challenge in the Democrat primary from Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (who had about $14.92 on hand at any given time in the race). Then Lee miscounted by about 48, when he WAY overestimated his grassroots support at the Northland Independence Day Parade last month on Twitter before disgracefully sneaking off the parade route, which would have been fine except that some people apparently have cameras AND internet access to see the nonsensical number counting (a crowd estimate that would have made the DC Police proud). On top of that, Lee is now on his third campaign manager, and has lost both his Communications Director & Research Director, at least one of whom went to work on another Senate campaign with a better shot at winning. To take the cake, though, media pundits and Democrat bigwigs took notice, culminating in this fantastic video summing up the smoking wreckage that is the Democrats’ best shot at winning a Republican-held seat in the US Senate, in an open contest to boot, against an opponent who had never run statewide versus Lee’s approximate 53 statewide ballot appearances (that number subject to Lee’s own counting practices).

Lee Fisher is on a roll (just not a good one!)
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010We need $100 million in green signs to know the government is spending OUR money?
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
We’ve all seen them–the lovely green signs lining our roads and highways over the past year plus, letting us know that this government construction project is being paid for by the government. And we’re all really glad to know that, because normally there is a lot of confusion about who is paying the tab on road construction. Finally, someone in Congress is taking notice of this nonsense–Congressman Aaron Schock was on the FOX Business Channel to take the Obama Administration to task on the continued government waste of our tax dollars. Here are a few quick notes from Cong. Schock’s takedown of the ARRA signs:
-ARRA was supposed to be the largest allocation of funds for infrastructure projects since President Eisenhower, yet only 8% of the funds are going to infrastructure projects.
-These signs, with mandated design requirements cost anywhere from $300 to $10,000 a pop. Yep, $10,000. One sign, or funds for a year of college education at a state university in Ohio, with change.
-Over $20 million has been spent on signs already, and $100 million has been allocated over the life of the bill.
-”It is an insult to the intelligence of the taxpayers to suggest that we need to tell them that a public works project, that a road project, is their tax money at work. Think if every unit of government did that…the amount of overhead and unnecessary expense that would be coming in addition to the already costly public works projects that you all pay for with your tax money. Its ridiculous. But it is, it is the same propaganda, narcissism, self-aggrandizing promotional stuff that is indicative of the Obama Administration.”

Another Young Gun “Contender”, Tom Ganley, appears on Huckabee to talk about run for Congress & taking on the Mob
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Tom Ganley has made a name for himself in Northeast Ohio as a small businessman, creating a successful chain of car dealerships throughout the area, and now he has decided to take a stand and run for Congress to replace second-term Democrat Betty Sutton in Ohio’s 13th Congressional District, which is made up of parts of Lorain, Summit, Cuyahoga, and Medina Counties. But this isn’t the first time Tom Ganley has taken on corruption–it turns out that he volunteered with the FBI to take down over 20 members of the Cleveland Mafia, essentially wiping out their organization all while a $1 million contract was out on his life. Mike Huckabee, host of FOX News weekend program “Huckabee” had Tom Ganley and the FBI Special Agent who worked with Tom on the case, Bob Freedman, on his show to discuss how he put it all on the line for what was right. Now that Tom is running for Congress, this quote sums it all up:
“If I didn’t back down to the mafia [when they were] threatening my entire family…I am certainly not going to back down…in Congress.”
