The Lucas County Board of Elections canceled a meeting on the composition of the county Republican Party, throwing into limbo an attempted takeover by forces opposed to GOP Chairman Jon Stainbrook.

The board meeting, which had been scheduled for tomorrow morning, was canceled late yesterday afternoon after legal questions arose about the validity of documents filed by the opposing faction.

PAUL HOAG AND JEFF SIMPSION ELECTED TO LEADERSHIP OF THE LUCAS COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY

By a majority vote of the duly elected / appointed member of the Lucas County Republican Central Committee have elected Paul Hoag to serve as chairman of the central committee. Immediately there after members elected Jeff Simpson as Chairman of the executive Committee.

I say reported, because the party has no money and Mr Rove is not free. One wonders if there is a contract signed or not to assure he will be there. There are some major clouds hanging over Jon's head and a savvy person like Rove would be wise to avoid them.

Karl Rove, who was political strategist and policy adviser for former President George Bush, is scheduled to be the keynote speaker for the Lucas County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner on Jan. 21.

What? Jon Stainbrook is over 2 months late on submitting an amended report? Can't be Jon right? Also when I read that the treasurer wrote a letter saying he is working hard on getting a few receipts, did anyone wonder if he actually wrote it? Fox Toledo has the Free Press story, which for some reason I can't find on the Free Press site. If they don't have the receipts, they will be referred to the Ohio Elections Commission.

Wachtmann: Lawmakers from Columbus or Washington?
Hard to Tell the Difference

COLUMBUS— State Representative Lynn Wachtmann (R- Napoleon) today issued the following statement:

LMAO - I can't believe he is saying this.

Jon start with your own party and let Repulicans see your books. You are hiding the books, against party by-laws. You are truly a hypocrite when you go on your crusade about public records.

Clean up corruption? Does that mean you are applying whiteout to the forged signatures?

Why now? All of a sudden there is corruption and you have been the chair for 1.5 years? I don't know what is worse you saying it or others, including the media, allowing you to say it.

Is Jon's offense that he wants to get the money from others hiding the dirty secret he is broke? How can that be? He said he raised so much money and provided such great support? Anyway, sounds interesting. I guess if Jon had any credibility, anything he said would actually have meaning.

Lucas Co GOP investigated by state

DOWNTOWN TOLEDO - An audit released Tuesday by State Auditor Mary Taylor show that at least $3,000 were spent from the Lucas County Republican Party's restricted fund.

"The Republican National Committee’s health insurance plan covers elective abortion – a procedure the party’s own platform calls “a fundamental assault on innocent human life.”

Federal Election Commission Records show the RNC purchases its insurance from Cigna. Two sales agents for the company said that the RNC’s policy covers elective abortion. " (continued)

Last Thursday there was a rally outside the U.S. Capitol to protest pending health care legislation, featuring the kinds of things we’ve grown accustomed to, including large signs showing piles of bodies at Dachau with the caption “National Socialist Healthcare.” It was grotesque — and it was also ominous. For what we may be seeing is America starting to be Californiafied. (MORE)

Toledo College Republicans to host “Support the Troops Rally” Tuesday November 10th at 12:00pm in the University of Toledo Centennial Mall. Community Welcome.

In Today's Blade, Jon is taking credit for 4 victories, a judge who won with the Democratic vote split and a Sylvania Township trustee who said that the incumbents were not going to win and of course Jon also takes credit for Rob Ludeman and George Sarantou winning. He is saying that demonstrates he is good and putting an end to the corruption, but forgetting to mention that most of his candidates did not make it. If his team was so good, why did other candidates not make it? Moody? Clark? Etc?

Lucas County GOP Candidates credit party's volunteers, endorsements

Not only did Conservatives rout all major, as well as minor out of state elections, conservatism won in Toledo. Even liberal powerbroker Marcy couldn't get super-liberal Wilkowski a win, over a much more conservative Mike Bell. This is of course an after effect of a President whose Hope and Change message, has become a Whine and Moan message. And with that, there goes what little support HE has in Congress! All I can say is---HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
