My prediction is that Bob Fritkas will get about 708 votes. That’s the going rate for a green candidate nowadays isn’t it? or it could be the amount of people who are let out of the asylum for an afternoon of gardening and voteing.

708 was the total for a progressive candidate in a conservative city.
Bob’s message will resonate in forward thinking cities such as Cleveland and Columbus-- you know cities who actually want to be become better?

What would be great, Yossarian, is if you ever had something new to say. You are a broken record. Even your old themes have no new variations.

Yeah, but they still make people laugh (I know not you, but people with a sense of humor - HA)

Fitrakis is a very engaging speaker with a strong populist message. He’s done some serious work documenting the problems with the 2004 election in Ohio and pushing for meaningful reforms that lower the barriers to voting. I look forward to reading the accounts of his appearance here.

Yossaran hasn’t had an original idea for all the time he has been posting. He resorts to name calling and other things usually heard out of the mouths of third graders. Reminds me of GWB, the parrot of the republican party, and his repetitious nonsense like “they hate us for our freedom.”

At least he’s not one of those politicians that runs on their Daddy’s name. He’s also not one of those corporate owned politicians. Thank God there are still some candidates that break this mold. I’m interested to hear what he has to say.

I went to hear him speak and he was excellent. He got the crowd really fired up. He’s got all the great green issues. Living wage, Universal health care, mass transit, bring the Ohio national guard home, protecting the environment and making sure our votes get counted.
As an international election observer he said he saw more problems in Ohio than in Ecuador. He said Ken Blackwell should be behind bars for his role in the stolen election in 2004.
