I really hope this guy runs against DeWine in 2006

[RobertFrancisK]

I'm from Ohio, and I think Rep Sharrod Brown really has what it takes to give us another Senate seat. He won't run in 04, which is smart because Voinavich will be tough to beat. But DeWine is vulnerable, and I hope he kicks his ass in 3 years.

As Labor Day -- the nation's annual celebration of the worker -- approached, Rep. Sherrod Brown of Ohio blamed the president for steep job losses in the manufacturing sector and for turning a $5.6 trillion national budget surplus into an estimated debt of $3.3 trillion.

Both men made their comments during the weekly radio addresses.

"In the last two and a half years, since George Bush became president, our nation has hemorrhaged 2.5 million manufacturing jobs," Brown said during the Democratic address. "Ten percent of our manufacturing jobs have disappeared. ... Good jobs in steel and auto and textiles."

The manufacturing job losses are among the 3.2 million private sector jobs that have vanished during the Bush term, the congressman said.

Democrats, Brown said, are committed to fiscal discipline and an economic plan to put Americans to work. The Bush administration caters to the wealthy, he contended.

1. Sherrod Brown is well-respected here

Look for him to make a Senate run, and win it. He's a highly respected Dem around here.

Once I've announced, we'll be working to get his endorsement for my own campaign.

2. What are you running for?

If you don't mind me asking?

4. hes running for congress

16th district of Ohio right AWD? Good luck too.

7. Good luck to AWD

I wish we could get a good candidate to run in the 15th. Price is a DeLay ass kisser, one of the most conservative members of congress. ANd since she lives in a moderate district, she tries to tell everyone she's a moderate that's pushing a moderate agenda. If I was 10 years older I'd run against her myself.
But seriously, good luck AWD. Do you have a website for your campaign?

3. sounds like a good guy

I am not being cynical on Kucinich here but just in case he doesnt get it maybe he could run for it.

5. True true

I think Ohio has a lot of good options. I think COlumbus mayor Coleman will run for governor in 06, and I think he'll win. Kucinich, Strickland or Brown could all run for senate and win.

6. yea I just have to be honest and keep my opitions

I also wouldnt mind him being president, but if we are to lose the primary because no one catches the heat, then senator or cabinet member may be good. That said you all do have a lot of good opitions.

8. I'd love to see Kucinich as secretary of labor

Can you imagine!
