The winner of the contest held by Election Inspection was Lt. Colonel Bill O’Neill.  More below the fold.

Bill O’Neill resigned from his seat on the Appelate Court in Ohio’s 11th district to run for Congress in Ohio’s 14th congressional district.  The seat is current held by Rethug Steve LaTourette.  

LaTourette is another one of the family values for you but not for me crowd having an extra marital affair with his former Chief of Staff who became a lobbyist with whom he is now married.  This is just one example of LaTourette’s relationships (literally) with lobbyists.  

The district is an R + 2 district that is trending blue so it is a winnable district with a conservative Republican that needs to be replaced.  O’Neill, despite solid fundraising numbers and a good district to play in, has not been named in either votevets endorsements or the the DCCC Red to Blue program.  We are hoping that with a successful donor bomb on this Memorial Day, that O’Neill will get the publicity and money he needs to achieve both of these crucial endorsements.

So support your troops in a way George W. Bush never intended you to do, give Lt. Colonel Bill O’Neill some money and support him in his effort to throw the Republicans out of office.

THIS POLL IS NOW CLOSED, CONGRATULATIONS TO BILL O'NEILL FOR WNNING THE COMBINED VOTE

On behalf of our residential veteran, Skywrnchsr509, Election Inspection is proud to present our Memorial Day Donor Bomb for Democratic Veterans running for congress against Republican crumb-bums. Even though Election Inspection will ultimately have a list of every single Democratic candidate running for the House on Act Blue, we would also like to give a big shout out to veterans running for congress who are currently not getting support from the DCCC or groups like VoteVets. So we’re going to put out a list of candidates for people to vote on to receive a Memorial Day Voter Bomb so that we might attract groups like VoteVets to these candidates and allow them to. So without further delay, let’s take a look at the candidates to choose from:

This poll will be conducted on Daily Kos and Swing State Project, on Sunday we'll add up the votes and create an Act Blue page for . For too long George Bush and the Republicans have called Democrats weak on defense and military issues while they ruin our country's good name and stretch the military to the breaking point. These veterans all know what it is to sacrifice for their country and they know that George Bush, John McCain, and the rest of the Republican party is bad for our fighting men and women. Let's send a message that we're not going to take it anymore, vote in our polls off-site so we can take a step against the Republicans (this is going to be the first in a series of donor bombs for Veterans running for Congress who are not getting assistance from VoteVets or the DCCC).
