Fitrakis is gaining momentum with Ohio's youth

Some quotes from Bob Fitrakis in a speech at Ohio University:

Fitrakis mocked the fact that some people consider the U.S. to be the world's greatest democracy. "That's bulls---," he said. According to Fitrakis, the U.S. has a comparatively low voter turnout, and the country "ignores obvious aspects of democracy."

---------

"There is corruption in Ohio," he said. "We ignore it and call it conspiracy theory."


Keep ignoring him if you want, but at the end of the day you have to recognize that he's speaking the truth. Though, it's true that sometimes the truth does just plain hurt -- especially for Democrats who cling to the belief that their party will one day represent its membership again.

I hope Ted Strickland doesn't spoil this election for the real progressive in the race.

Strickland would be wise to steal his platform, but won't. The truth is there are plenty of voters out there who wouldn't vote for Blackwell or Strickland and it's always good for people to hear the truth for a change.

Just steal his platform? I got one better for you...
