Discussion: Big Development Concerning Democrat In Ohio Guv. Race

Discussion for article #225850

why is this a “story” here? According to the report, he was not cited for anything and no crime was committed. I am confused. Why is TPM posting this?

Nice picture. Red eye and all.

Edited to include this: I have a feeling this is a “major development” the same way Chris McDaniel’s press conference will be a “major development”. As in: YAWN.

“The TPM Polltracker average gives Kasich an 8.3 point lead over Kasich.”

Does ANY ONE at TPM ever proof read their absurd sentences like this one?

Ed,in the words of former Governor Edwin Edwards and your situation.

See, there’s your ‘tell’ on why GOP agents got this story out at this time: an 8.3 point lead over himself just isn’t going to cut it for Kasich; he won’t feel comfortable until it’s in double digits.

WTF, TPM? This shouldn’t even be news if they were naked and performing 69 on each other. Stay out of politicians’ personal lives, unless they are campaigning as paragons of virtue.

Oh dear. I didn’t even catch that. No wonder Kasich is trying to dirty up Fitzgerald! Kasich only leads himself by 8 points!

It’s smarmy and prurient clickbait like this that is taking TPM way too close to TMZ for Josh’s comfort.

Please stop posting this bullshit—especially when you are ignoring important news like this:

TPM should take this article off immediately. By the way my husband was in the car with a women many times without me. If you were going to have a fling why would you do it in a car when the woman had a hotel room waiting???

Somehow TPM can’t detect propaganda hit pieces where publishing the piece is in effect carrying water for the masters.

Internal polling in OH must be scary. Once considered an off year election where the GOP would rule the day across the country, this and other self-inflicted GOP wounds leaves me to believe the battle is far from won.

Remember, all the news fit to print.
