Ohio Campaigns and the Movies
Sorry for a lack of updates, I'm sure you all heard about the CT Senatorial primary, and now the latest current events have turned to the potential UK-US terrorist flight attacks, so lots in the real work to keep you busy.
Meanwhile, I have what could be a treat for you. Many may not know this, but there is acutally a documentary in the works for the Ohio Gubenatorial Race this year. The movie, Swing State, is being produced by In The Zone Productions. Those behind it, are following Ted Strickland/Lee Fisher's camp on the campaign trail. Check out the Trailer.
While playing around at the In the Zone Productions site, I also stumbled across a youtube account for someone pro-blackwell. I'm always a fan of seeing what the competition has against us, and I will admit it's funny seeing a video regarding Ted Strickland's stand on the Marriage Amendment up there. Oh the drama, the humanity! The CSPAN clip it shows is a bit anti-climactic and it is funny seeing how the marriage amendment is still trying to be played in this race. Don't worry too much, there is also a pro-strickland youtube user
Upon further searchings of youtube(can it ever really get boring?) there are a variety of videos to play with. Such as this one of John Edwards at Paul Hackett's house for a Strickland fundraiser (how many awesome Democrats can you fit in one house?). Unfortunately, the sound doesn't synch up, but you get the point.
Or how about this interview with Strickland regarding the whole "Gay Rumor" on a blog. Ted does a pretty nice job of discussing the use of blogs in smear campaigns.
Enough with the Strickland Love, here are a few videos from the Brown side. The Sherrod for Senate accounts are actually pretty diverse, so you should check it out. There's even a nice interview regarding Brown's views on the internet including MySpace.
Speaking of Brown videos, if you're interested in seeing the infamous cgi twin towers Dewine ad and here's Brown's rebuttal ad. And of course, thanks to the Daily Show, you can see Lewis Black's commentary on the DeWine Ad.
And finally if you're reminicing over 2004 there's a spoof ad you may enjoy and a short expose on East Cleveland and voting scare tactics that's pretty interesting as well.
Blogging Liberally -- scouring YouTube, so you don't have to. Enjoy your weekend!

Ohio Republican Crossword Puzzle
This is actually a bit old, but hilarious. It was one of the highlights from sorting the mail while interning on the Hill. So, I figured I'd pass on the fun.
-----
For the past six months a prankster referred to in the press as the “anonymous chocolatier” has entertained the Statehouse crowd with trinkets related to Statehouse scandals.
Among the items distributed by “AC” were chocolate covered coins with Tom Noe, Betty Montgomery and Jim Petro stamped on them; a recent laundry list making light of Jim Petro’s well-publicized fundraising ethics problems (posted on our blog at www.ohiodems.org); and a hand-fan, known as the Petro position changer, making fun of Petro’s flip-flops.
ODP has acquired (through anonymous third party sources who have no affiliation with the Party and will not confirm the identity of the “AC”) the following rage spreading across the Columbus beltway – The Ohio Republican crossword puzzle.
Although unconfirmed, we believe this to be the latest evidence that the “anonymous chocolatier” strikes again.

Stephanie Tubbs Jones on The Colbert Report
Case's US Representative, Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, was on the Colbert Report a while ago. In this clip, Colbert asks her if she'd ever hold her own "Judge Tubbs-Jones" show, since she was previously a Judge. Overall, I think she did well on holding her own when facing Colbert.
Also, Congresswoman Tubbs Jones first appeared The Colbert Report during the "Know Your District: Ohio 11th". So, Case it's time to know your Representative by seeing the clip via Comedy Central here. It may even give you a bit more Cleveland pride.
Your thoughts?

Adam Carolla tells off Ann Coulter
It seems that on July 8th, Ann Coulter was supposed to do a radio interview over the phone with Adam Carolla for his Radio Show. Ms. Coulter dialed in over an hour late. The following is a transcript of Carolla's Response.
ADAM CAROLLA: Ann Coulter, who was suppose to be on the show about an hour and a half ago, is now on the phone, as well. Ann?
ANN COULTER: Hello.
CAROLLA: Hi Ann. You’re late, babydoll.
COULTER: Uh, somebody gave me the wrong number.
CAROLLA: Mmm… how did you get the right number? Just dialed randomly — eventually got to our show? (Laughter in background)
COULTER: Um, no. My publicist e-mailed it to me, I guess, after checking with you.
CAROLLA: Ahh, I see.
COULTER: But I am really tight on time right now because I already had a —
CAROLLA: Alright, well, get lost. (Hangs up the Phone)
