<<<DAYTON — The Montgomery County Democratic Party Thursday night endorsed Washington Twp. businesswoman Jane Mitakides in the March 4 primary election to decide who will face U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Centerville, in November.

The three Democrats who will face off on the March 4 ballot are Dayton activist and businessman David Esrati, Mitakides and former Waynesville Mayor Charles W. Sanders. Mitakides ran for the seat in 2004 and lost to Turner 62 percent to 38 percent.

Mitakides on Thursday cited Gov. Ted Strictland's taking 56 percent of the Third District vote as a good sign for her run.

"This is the year, this is the state, this is the race," she said. "It's a winnable race — don't think it's not.">>>

Just FYI.

ON EDIT: Strickland's name was misspelled in the copy.

2. That's why I said that the Dems needed to find a viable candidate the day after the election.

And get the name-recognition wagon rolling then.

I would love to see Rick Carne get back in it, but I guess he's out of politics now.

I also had no idea about Sanders...wasn't he involved in some kind of mayoral recall vote in Waynesville? Something involving the police department? (Your link wasn't opening for some reason, so if that was in there, I couldn't read it.)

3. Esrati is the only candidate for the non-duplicitous

plus, he wiped Mike Turner's nose in the doo-doo for trying to outlaw free speech at Dayton City Commission meetings.
