2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I Just Donated to Hillary!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>> [View all]RiverLover
(7,830 posts)48. You know, Ted Strickland does have a primary opponent. He's just an actual liberal, non-3rd Way, &
not supported by the DNC.
Strickland refuses to debate him....
Of course you don't know his name, third way DNC doesn't want you to...
Sittenfeld. 31 years old. The liberal fresh-thinking outsider we need in congress. The one only 1 voter out of 10 in Ohio have ever heard of....
And just like everything good that is possible, DNC will bury him.
....In his interview with RCP, Sittenfeld described the incumbent as inherently linked to the problems with Washington given his two-plus decades of experience in Congress and the Bush administration. Many of Sittenfelds complaints about Portman, however, also apply to Strickland, who spent a decade in Congress before becoming governor and then taking the reins of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal Washington think tank, after losing his 2010 re-election.
I think there is a huge appetite for fresh thinkers and new leaders and just people that can bring new perspectives to the table, Sittenfeld said. Thats one thing that people like, say, a Rob Portman, who has just been entrenched in the culture of Washington for decades, thats just not helpful and its not what we need more of."

Same here, I like Martin O'Malley too. I don't like any of the hatred slung at any of the three.
