I think my favorite response in Ohio lefty Twitter to redistricting is "Gerrymandering [the act of manipulating maps to favor one party] is bipartisan." Losing the "us vs. them" messaging with a 7-0 unanimous bipartisan vote is proving difficult to swallow for some.

I didn't say it was non-partisan. I said it was more non partisan than the Ohio Capital Journal, which is a true fact.

The one where the AP, straight faced, describes her as both centrist and a passionate advocate for liberal priorities. Within three sentences.

Quick reminder that Senate Republicans sought to end the 2018 shutdown using unanimous consent and Chuck Schumer objected keeping the government shutdown. Long history of playing shutdown politics.

If passed, the six week CR drops the next shutdown game of chicken right into the holiday season. Because shutdown rhetoric needs another level of hyperbole.

The fantasy football leagues I’m in this year offer WILDLY divergent experiences. Winning one matchup this week 114-38. Winning another matchup 619,853.85-348,013.96. Also surviving two guillotine leagues in which I have no business still being alive.

To borrow from satirist Tom Lehrer... Maryland this morning has a certain right to gloat over the other states, because Maryland is, after all, the only state with three senators.

In Tom’s Day it was Bobby Kennedy giving Massachusetts a third senator. At least Bobby Kennedy had the wherewithal to pretend to live in NY.

I (currently) have no dog in the USSEN fight - although I’ve had good meetings with both @franklarose and Bernie Moreno and haven’t heard a peep from the Dolan (I’m not taking it personally)- but I’ll support any and all attacks on Sherrod Brown’s atrocious record. #BrownMustGo

The Ohio Legislative Correspondents Association should remove the Ohio Capital Journal from its ranks. It's not a media organization. It's a partisan outfit using OLCA for - as the kids say - clout. ohiosenate.gov/news/on-the-re…

If you like your stove, you can keep your doctor.

No bigger friends to the movement than Mike and Fran DeWine. Issue 1 is radical. Too radical for Ohioans. Early voting starts today. Do it. Vote. Vote No. Do it.

Mike is great. I was pleased to reconnect with him recently via the Broadcast Educational Media Commission. He’ll do great for Ohio’s college and universities.

This was always going to happen…

Third CONSECUTIVE roll call vote? If he had only lost every other roll call vote it’s be ok, but this is very serious………………………….

One last chance to get in all the silly superlatives and breathless Democratic party messaging. Might as well...

Looking forward to this evening of food and fun conversation!

Local elections matter. Our kids should be learning HOW to think not WHAT to think and that starts with electing folks to School Boards across Ohio that want our kids to attain educational excellence. We have released our list of endorsements for School Board candidates:

Best crank Democrat interaction this year goes to the guy asking to be removed from the mailing list, "because I do NOT want to fumigate my mailbox again due to right wing Republican junk being put in it." A lesser man would amp up the mail, but that's not who I am as a person...

Final (rough) tallies from Licking County… we flushed 15,000 voters off the list and made almost 5,000 calls to people who hadn’t yet voted today. Cannot be more proud of the effort here!
