Some Local Races of No Real Interest
Sutton Wins By 30
Betty was already looking at a pretty sizable win over her Republican challenger Harry Potter. I don't think that's his real first name he wanted to siphon off some votes from parents of J. K. Rowling fans. Anyway I'll be waiting to see if an Obama coattail effect pushes Sutton's win margin into the stratosphere.
Randy Cole Wants In
Mr. Cole ran for Ward 8 Councilor two years ago and lost to Bob Keith. This election he picked State Representative of the 41st district as his class project. Randy lives in the neighborhood and seems to be well liked. He is challenging incumbent Brian Williams who is also well liked. I have noticed there are more Cole signs in the area. I have even seen some Cole signs paired up with Obama signs which could mean Randy's appeal cuts across party lines, good news for him.
Status Quo in Summit County
I think it's safe to say that all the incumbents holding elected County offices will keep them Some like Sheriff Drew Alexander are unopposed. Why in the hell are we forced to vote for County Engineer? Rusty Pry will have no problem defeating Jim Laria and his giant man size photo yard signs, scary.
The Kooch Hangs On
There was talk that Dennis Kucinich's latest quest for the presidency had fatally tarnished his image and the voters would send him packing. Jim Trakas has an uphill battle to unseat the Kooch even if there is some level of discontent in the 10th district. In the end enough people still love the little elf congressman plus the district is heavy Dem. In a year where there will be a down ticket effect from Obama I expect to see a victorious Dennis emerge on Wednesday. Sorry Jim.
Will PLJ Be Derailed at the Last Minute?
Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jones looked like he would sail to a win over Bay Village Mayor Deb Sutherland (call her Deb). There has been some static over PLJ's use of a County employee and car to be chauffeured to and from work and his law offices. The situation had started to fade when he was busted this Saturday by Channel 3 (or was it 8) in a county car driven by his trusty assistant. There's nothing better than a minor scandal like this to enrage voters but, I don't think Peter has to worry. From what I hear there are more PLJ yard signs in Bay Village than anywhere in the western burbs.
Say It With Me, Snitchler!
Did you know Celeste DeHoff failed to pay her property taxes? Do you even know who Celeste DeHoff is? I'm not even sure what State district this race is for and frankly I don't give a crap. The pay off is the guy running the adds has a great last name for a weaselly looking dude running negative adds. Snitchler, Snitchla. The race is actually for the 50th House district in Stark County.
