I am stealing this Daily Kos diary from redstatewoes and posting it here. It’s called Some surprises at the OH-02 debate tonight.
This diary is regarding the debate between Republican Jean Schmidt and the Democrat challenger Paul Hackett. You can read more about the debate here.
Thank you Newsie8200 for your GREAT comment that led me to all of the links.
Here is how you can help!
If you look at the debate, Paul Hackett won big time on the issues. He is young, attractive, Iraq Veteran, pro-gun, pro-choice and great for Ohio.
Jean Schmidt looks vulnerable. She made some comments in last nights debate that left the audience upset. From redstatewoes diary.
She informed the audience that she wants to create incentives to bring in Mega-Farms (there were gasps at this) because those bring in jobs. This was her biggest mistake, IMHO. This is a farming district and if you want to piss off a farmer, tell them you want to bring in a mega-farm.
She is also against stem-cell research, backed off of privatization of social security and used the London bombings as the reason to vote for her.
Here is where you can help. The election is August 2nd. That is only 3 weeks away. Spread the word about this candidate. The major disadvantage is that Paul Hackett has been outraised. You can make a contribution here. If you live in the area, please contact Paul Hackett to see if you can canvass, make phone calls, etc.
If you have any ideas how people can contribute from outside the area, please post some suggestions.
