Tag: OH-3

It seems even the Republicans can’t ignore what is happening in OH-3. The ever-conservative Fox News has declared a potential upset for Mike Turner. It’s been evident all along that Jane Mitakides (www.jane08.com) has a great chance to take back OH-3, and now Fox has vocalized their opinion.

Fox says: Key Races – Midwest: OH 3 (Potential for upset): Mike Turner (R) has a rematch with his 2004 opponent, Jane Mitakides (D). The District is comprised of much of urban Dayton which helps with Obama at the top of the ticket. Plus absentee ballots heavily favor Democrats.

There are eight days to go in this historic election cycle, and Jane Mitakides can easily win this!

OH-3 House – OH-3 is home to Congressman Mike Turner, who doesn’t understand the meaning of the term “representative.” He is one of CREW’s 24 Most Corrupt in Congress. Turner’s earmarking was also noted in Mother Jones this August. Martin Gottlieb of the Dayton Daily News (DDN) points out that Congressman Turner “has had certain political embarrassments.”

Congressman Turner’s corruption and the Democratic lean OH-3 has, thanks to the city of Dayton and Montgomery County, enhances Democrat Jane Mitakides’ ability to turn OH-3 red-to-blue. This race is already on Swing State Project’s Races to Watch list, and the DDN today said OH-3 in comparison to OH-2 or OH-7 “is much more likely than the others to go Democratic. (The core of it, Mongtomery [sic] County, leans Democratic even in an average year.)”

“National trends matter a lot,” writes Gottlieb, and given the increase of Democratic support seen in 2008 makes this THE year to win back OH-3, “the year offers the Democrats their best shot,” Gottlieb adds.

Here it is folks! OH-3 is the easiest district to turn red-to-blue; let’s help make real change here and support Jane! http://jane08.com/
