PG Sittenfeld, A Cincinnati city councilman, is Strickland's primary opponent. He came in first in votes city-wide, but, unfortunately, as far as I am concerned, immediately broke an election promise by voting to build Cincinnati's downtown streetcar, which he had opposed before the election.

The Strickland-Portman race will be a difficult one for the former Governor. If the Dems have a strong Presidential candidate, that will benefit Strickland by bringing out Dem voters.

on Cincinnati.com. I hadn't read it, because I've already made my voting decision in the US Senate primary, but have now read it.

I used to be a regular reader of Plunderbund, but have gotten away from it in the last 6 months or so - only so many hours in a day. I have considered Modern Esquire the best writer for Plunderbund.
