1. Why are you thankful for that?

Dennis White sent me a personal email to thank me for donating to the Ohio Dem party for the recount. I was pretty impressed by that.

Of course, that doesn't mean he was good at his job in general. ;)

Thanks in advance.

3. I think it is wonderful news.... Having known Denny

for years, I was the Treasurer of the Cuyahoga County Dems for eight years, I can see how he would be overwhelmed... It is difficult to meld the state apparatus with the various counties.. Leland failed and so did Denny.. I think they both had good intentions it's just that being surrounded by all that GOP power centered in Columbus, not the city, the state government, made them feel it necessary to emulate the GOP stances on issues...

4. C-you bye

The man was dirty or knew about it.

Denny White was God Awful .... and to me he never passed the smell test.
I hope he enjoys the riches that I suspect are on deposit in some Swiss
account.

BTW Denny nice job leaving your window open for the "burglars" who
who broke into a 2nd story office to get your lap top or blackberry.

5. esspecially just before another Blackwell purge!

Where was he after tens of thousands of low income African American voters were disenfranchised in the capital city. He spent too much time courting the very wealthy while ignoring his base voters and volunteers.

6. I forget exactly but he does have a diebold connection .....

... if not him (when I was first told of this I couldn't believe it) but for
the repubs to win Ohio in 04 they needed some democrats in power
to help ... especially @ the county BOEs and during the recount.
