I have tremendous respect for Sen. Whitehouse; his speeches and committee questions

always reflect serious thought and intellect.

However, if he needs his feet held to the fire every so often, so be it.

Were ads run in Ohio as well, or did the DU poster from CO

refer to the Ohio ads?

That's why these ads stood out for me - I've never seen ads promoting

Cabinet picks before either.
I wonder if they're being run in other states as well.
The ads listed who paid for them, but-again- my memory fails me at this minute. (Was it Koch interests?)

TV ads in SW Ohio telling viewers to call their Senators,

tell Senators Portman & Brown to vote for Trump cabinet nominees.

Sessions was one cabinet nominee mentioned; not sure if the other was DeVos or Tillerson. -(poor memory- it was a few days ago.
Have any other Ohioans or residents of other states seen these ads?
Have other Cabinet nominees been mentioned in similar ads?

"Suppressed" does not necessarily mean votes that were cast.

"Suppressed" can mean fewer early voting days, stricter registration rules, etc.
Under that measure, Rep Ryan could easily be correct.

Agree. nt

Does the receiving country, i.e., The Holy See, have a say in whom they accept

as ambassador from the sending country?
