Not a whole lot out there on either one.<br /><br />Looks like Cochran ran for the same position in 2008 and 2010. He was the Tea Party choice in 2010 (K. DeWine wanted somebody else in 2010 - Tea Party does not seem to be making recommendations this year). Cochran is a co-chair for Romney in Knox County.<br /><br />Cuckler gets the big name endorsements (Tiberi, Rinehart, Jim Hughes, Tom Zawistowski - all on the literature I got from Cuckler), but Kasich is conspicuous by his absence. Cuckler did work for Householder. Only other stuff I found was negative stuff. It took him three times to pass the Ohio bar examination. This became a big deal because he filled out some paperwork indicating he was a lawyer before he really was a lawyer. The Ohio Supreme Court reprimanded him in 2004. On Cuckler's mailer, he is making a big deal about Cochran's "undisclosed outside donors."<br /><br />IMO, Cuckler is the DeWine candidate but that does not make Cochran the Kasich candidate. I think Cuckler is grasping for straws by bringing up Cochran's undisclosed donors. Maybe these donors exist but I'm guessing I would not have a problem with their politics.<br /><br />The Columbus Dispatch website has a voter guide where you can line them up, side by side. Both answer a few questions.<br /><br />Wish I could find more about both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-38075855278055290402012-03-03T16:04:18.184-05:002012-03-03T16:04:18.184-05:00So does anyone have the answer regarding this 19th...So does anyone have the answer regarding this 19th district race?

He believes that the best vehicle to make American more free, is the Republican Party. Accordingly, he wants to make sure that the Ohio Republican Party remains rooted in freedom and liberty. He has been fighting for conservative and libertarian issues 20 years before there was a Tea Party. People like him help planted the tea seeds, so that we could harvest it in 2010 and God Willing in 2012.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-15579097649282597252012-02-25T18:09:49.378-05:002012-02-25T18:09:49.378-05:00I am in the 19th District in Franklin County.

This district is portions of northern Franklin County and all of Delaware and Knox Counties.<br /><br />The last couple of weeks, I have been receiving mailers for Richard Cochran. It looks like he is from Knox County. His opponent is Steve Cuckler. I remember Steve from his time working for Larry Householder, which was eventful. Given Householder's (plus Buerck's) associations with DeWine, I would have to believe that Cuckler is the DeWine candidate. However, I have received nothing from Cuckler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-7588489012907278222012-02-25T08:20:59.024-05:002012-02-25T08:20:59.024-05:00Yesterday in Rocky River Ohio, Herman Cain said th...Yesterday in Rocky River Ohio, Herman Cain said that there were 6 million Republican voters who stayed home in 2008.

I wonder if Nancy has the same relationship she had with the previous ORP chair.<br /><br />3. @Dave Morris....lol. He got under 40% of the vote. No amount of money is going to get a social circuit candidate, who doesn't do the grassroots politics necessary, elected in a district that includes Lakewood, Brook Park, Cleveland, and Parma. And if he were a serious candidate, his troublesome work record while he was a Democrat working in Brook Park certainly would've become an issue. In short, if the ORP would've spent any money on his race, that woud've been cause for outrage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-81020305200006921152012-02-24T01:33:12.753-05:002012-02-24T01:33:12.753-05:00Thanks for finally exposing the issue for what it ...Thanks for finally exposing the issue for what it is. I am running for SCC in SD23 against Bob Bennett and have seen the same kinds of chicanery here as well. I have written no less than 3 emails to DeWine asking who authorized this spending AND how much have they spent. Guess what, he hasn't even replied.<br />In 2010 I ran for the Ohio Senate in SD23 and spent just under $30K. None of that money came from the ORP. While I lost, I did so by less than 28 votes a precinct. Had DeWine and the ORP given me a fraction of what they spent in 2010 to keep incumbent SCC members I would probably have won.<br />Thanks again for a great article detailing what is wrong with our Party and our Chairman.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847776977365894318noreply@blogger.com
