This metaphor makes no sense. When one is drowning and pitifully "grasping at straws," straws are the very last thing he would want. When a fat guy is at a milkshake shop, he's surrounded by exactly what he wants. The "grasping at straws" idiom indicates desperation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-46874488800672638282011-10-27T19:24:29.184-04:002011-10-27T19:24:29.184-04:00Even if SB5 is upheld, I still fully expect Kevin ...Even if SB5 is upheld, I still fully expect Kevin DeWine to get the ax. Someone ought to take the fall for letting this mess happen in the first place; and Kasich won't fire himself.Nathan Obralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373648008824869042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-56653902391182492962011-10-27T09:54:35.115-04:002011-10-27T09:54:35.115-04:00I'm still not sure what DeWine did wrong.

How did DeWine know that when Romney accepted he'd flip flop (other than the usual risk you take with Romney.)<br /><br />We all know that Kasich wanted to replace DeWine after the 2010 elections and replace him with his friend/lobbyist/Franklin County GOP chair Doug Priesse. Kasich failed because the central committee couldn't understand why they'd replace DeWine after he just led the party back into power and had such a successful 2010 election for the party.<br /><br />If Issue 2 fails, expect Kasich's folks to try to pin the blame on DeWine, so they can try to oust him again. That's what this looks like to me. The finger pointing and political agendas behind them have already started before a single vote is counted.Modernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096376710345315767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-24674672825492860882011-10-27T08:05:54.336-04:002011-10-27T08:05:54.336-04:00Oh dear.

Should the public be stupid enough to nominate him after the establishment GOP has been crowning him for months... and under this stupid excuse of "most electable," I will walk out of the Republican Party forever and campaign for his defeat.<br /><br />This was just reason #13,543 why I refuse to vote for Mitt.Nathan Obralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373648008824869042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-90564441131036490852011-10-26T23:59:15.706-04:002011-10-26T23:59:15.706-04:00When it comes to the massive failure that is issue...When it comes to the massive failure that is issue two, you guys are like a fat guy in a milkshake shop, you are grasping at straws. The bottom line is that the ORP failed to gauge what the general public wanted. They are paying for their arrogance right now, since issue two is going down in flames, and there isn't anything they can do about it.MJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232664369762292090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-81398310350302759182011-10-26T22:56:21.966-04:002011-10-26T22:56:21.966-04:00I can't believe I'm defending Kevin DeWine...I can't believe I'm defending Kevin DeWine, but isn't this the fault of the Romney campaign and not Kevin DeWine? I just don't think Kevin DeWine would see this as a good chess move even if he wanted to do something to hurt Kasich before the election. This rumor just doesn't make any sense. I think Romney has a horrible advance team, though.<br /><br />I mean, isn't the ORP doing a ton of work for both issues? This conspiracy theory doesn't make sense and instead sounds like something the Kasich camp is pushing so they can try to remove DeWine as Chair again when Issue 2 fails.Modernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096376710345315767noreply@blogger.com
