Good comments all around and a welcome change from the usual deafening silence.<BR/><BR/>Cafaro's bio in <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capri_Cafaro" REL="nofollow">Wiki</A> says only that she was born in Youngstown -- probably why the PeeDee sited her there. During the <A HREF="http://www.capri2004.com/main.cfm?actionId=globalShowStaticContent&screenKey=bio" REL="nofollow">'04 election</A> she was living in Hunting Valley in Cuy. County. Obviously she needs to move south/west to locate in OH-13.<BR/><BR/>Sawyer has always been an Akron guy. He represented all of Akron when all of Akron was in OH-14. He physically lives in the part of Akron now in OH-17. He'll have to somehow establish residence in West Akron or beyond to be in OH-13.Scott Piephohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849171870929674248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1133377913709424872005-11-30T14:11:00.000-05:002005-11-30T14:11:00.000-05:00On Coughlin, no way he runs for this. He's just ...On Coughlin, no way he runs for this. He's just become chairman of the Senate Health committee and probably won't leave. He runs for re-election next year to his last term.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't be so quick to tie Arshnikoff to Coughlin. It's well known that they don't get along. <BR/><BR/>Coughlin's always been elected on his own without Arshnikoff's help, so the fat man has no hooks in him. The smarmy senator is the biggest horse Arshnikoff has, so they put on a good public front.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the seat goes to the dems. Probably Kalo, but I bet Brown backs out of the Senate race and runs here again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1133372474111632092005-11-30T12:41:00.000-05:002005-11-30T12:41:00.000-05:00If Cafaro is from "the northern part of Trumbull C...If Cafaro is from "the northern part of Trumbull County," then that still supports Pho's claim of carpetbagging. As a pain-in-the-posterior geographer, I should point out that Trumbull county is still technically part of the Youngstown metro area (although the northern part is pretty sparsely populated). Also, I always thought that the Cafaros were from Niles, which is southern Trumbull and almost adjacent to Youngstown...<BR/><BR/>But I digress: I had something else in mind...didn't Sawyer lose in the 17th district after Trafficant's was eradicated? If that's the case, how is it that he isn't a carpetbagger himself by running in Brown's 13th district?<BR/><BR/>I'm a bit fuzzy on who represents which district at this point: I'm sorry for my confusion, but I've only lived in Akron since July...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1133371243722729552005-11-30T12:20:00.000-05:002005-11-30T12:20:00.000-05:00Ted Kalo, one of our Lorain County Commissioners, ...Ted Kalo, one of our Lorain County Commissioners, has been in local politics for a while, but is currently only 11 months into his first <B>elected</B> four year term.<BR/><BR/>He may be elect-able in some parts of Lorain County, but only beat his Republican challenger by a 9% margin last November.
