Sorry about Jennifer, Bot

[SharonRB]

Will she still be Secretary of State or did she have to resign to be in the Senate primary? I hope she can still serve in that capacity. Is Fisher a Blue Dog or is he an okay guy?

1. Thanx

She will serve out her term as Sec. of State in Ohio.

I will vote for Fisher but he really went bottom of the barrel in his campaign and the DSCC and the
Ohio Democratic Party wanted to anoint him as the party nominee and worked very hard to freeze
Jenny out.

The odds of Fisher winning in the general election are dicy at best. America doesn't need any more
old white guys in the senate. Lee = old white guy.

I just talked to Jennifer last week in person and I have been in daily connect w/ her over the last 2 weeks
she really is one of the good ones.

Sounds familiar, only they forced Nancy out even before they got to the primary.

4. A message from my friend Jenny Brunner to the EDVs

Hi Tom,

You have been a wonderful supporter. I'm working on an email to supporters
now. Here are a couple of lines for you to post:

Our campaign broadened the progressive base in Ohio. We fought to make
people matter more than money. We were outflanked in money, endorsements
and establishment pushback, but with the support of a broad and diverse
group of activists who helped us get our message to other Ohioans, we pulled
off a campaign that has amazed many. We were outspent 4 to 1 overall and on
broadcast media 100% to 0. We can take what we learned and help new
candidates of all races, nationalities, gender, orientation and age become
part of our government, so that our government looks and thinks more like
us.

Thanks for your friendship, great ideas and support, Tom.

Jennifer

5. That was nice of her.

I was disappointed too, but I sensed she would lose. Not just because of Fisher's dirty tricks but simply because she had no money for ads. Fisher was on TV every 2 seconds and he had all the name recognition. Jenny had none. Of the people who bothered to go to the polls, few probably had any idea who the people on the ballot were, and I don't doubt many voted for him because they saw his ads. As far as the ads went he might as well have been running unopposed.
