I say…too late!! I supported Tim and he has at times been on the money. His last campaign made it appear that he had just fallen off a turnip truck. Get behind Amy and let the women hash our mountain of problems out.

- his campaign will be any different than the Senate run he made. His focus was on blue collar industry voters from Youngstown and Mahoning County. Very little to excite middle income suburbanites or rural voters. I'll vote for him only to help prevent whatever candidate the Republicans run from winning.

I'm not in Ohio, but if I were I'd be supporting Amy Acton.

They like him when he's beating up on fellow Democrats, but they will never cast a vote for him over a Republican.

Move and let someone else give it a go, even though I'm guessing Democratic primary voters won't be electing him as our nominee regardless...
