The only thing I can come up with is that they like the bank she brings to the festivities.<BR/><BR/>Joe and Anon:<BR/><BR/>I agree that the color of her hair is an irrelevant consideration (tho I happen to think she'd look better as a brunette.) <BR/><BR/>I also disagree that she would be nothing if not raised on money. Girlfriend has crazy game. Her talent is not at issue. Her sincerity and her electiblity are.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I vehemently disagree that the circumstances of Cafaro, Sawyer and Sutton are identical. Sawyer and Sutton both represented large parts of Ohio-13 at one time. They are both from this area and know the area. Sawyer still lives in Akron for Gawd's sake, just the part that was ripped into Ohio 17, not 13. <BR/><BR/>Cafaro has. not. live. in. Ohio. As an adult. I could have forgiven it in '04 -- especially since she was taking on an incumbent Republican. But the combination of moving away and coming back to run and running in an open Democratic seat just rubs me raw.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, seeing this trope -- Sawyer Sutton, Cafaro . . . same thing! --constantly trotted out is starting to feel Rovian to me. Find another argument already.Scott Piephohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05849171870929674248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1138737896080108432006-01-31T15:04:00.000-05:002006-01-31T15:04:00.000-05:00Egads!

Don't ask me why, but you just are. Maybe it's the scar on your forehead. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, the crucial question remains: If Capri is Hermione, and you're the Liberal-who-Lived, then who's Ron Weasley?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1138732869658051232006-01-31T13:41:00.000-05:002006-01-31T13:41:00.000-05:00I dont think that bleached hair can disqualify som...I dont think that bleached hair can disqualify someone as a candidate, nor do I think that being rich disqualifies you either. Everyone gets criticized for money: having too much or not enough. Either way, you are doomed. Money is the root of all evil and it is our job not to let that principal define all of us, rich or poor.<BR/><BR/>If people continue to say the same arguments about intruding in the district, then Cafaro, Sutton, and Sawyer should not be running. Can anyone else talk about real pointers, like what we're going to do about the rising tuition? Or where out future judical system lies with the hour-ago confirmation of Alito?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1138726243261873352006-01-31T11:50:00.000-05:002006-01-31T11:50:00.000-05:00I have met her a few times and have not been impre...I have met her a few times and have not been impressed, especially with the overly bleached hair. She would be a nobody if she wasn't born into money. She's simply using her inherited wealth to force her way through in a district she has absolutely no connection to. <BR/><BR/>I have a real problem with that. <BR/><BR/>I was not born into a wealthy family with political connections. I have had to work and scrap for everything so far. Capri can just barge right into my district and claim she represents me? I don't think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1138712200592202382006-01-31T07:56:00.000-05:002006-01-31T07:56:00.000-05:00HI Pho - Thanks for this - you sure know how to fe...HI Pho - Thanks for this - you sure know how to feed a person.<BR/><BR/>Well, you know, I said this about Hackett and I feel similarly here, and I accept it as my idiosyncrisy and that I'm only one person. Nevertheless: I strongly prefer candidates who WANT the job. Now, I will say that Chris Redfern told me last week, when I said that it bothered me that Paul Hackett tells the story of how he got asked to run for the Senate and so he's running and that that bothered me, that many (he may even have said most, I don't recall) candidates run because they've been asked.<BR/><BR/>Now, I've read reports about how few women run for office and that those who do often run as a result of being asked. Ok. I'm trying to be naive here.<BR/><BR/>But there's a nonchalance about it that bothers me. I said to Redfern, well, Jennifer Brunner - she wants this job (Sec'y of State) and he says, She was asked to run. Hmm, okay. Well, if that's true (and I'm not going to go on the record as doubting the ODP Chair at this point), okay then. Maybe I'm looking at this issue all wrong.<BR/><BR/>But at least with Brunner, she's done so much that's consistent with SOS - for goodness sakes, she worked in the SOS office, she's practiced election law. It makes sense.<BR/><BR/>Now, Hackett's a lawyer and was in Iraq. Cafaro has been a policy wonk. Maybe getting asked to run IS all there is to it.<BR/><BR/>But there's still a remnant of me that says, shouldn't a person WANT to run? WANT to represent a particular constituency with which it's familiar?<BR/><BR/>Obviously I have vestigial feelings on this issue, though I've moved a bit from my original position.<BR/><BR/>So thanks again for your report. Very interesting. (Btw, my Stanford grad friends tell me that Ms. Cafaro's Stanford online info says she graduated in 1996 with an AB in American Studies. My friend's comment: "She is there as a graduate but there is absolutely no other info like most people have."<BR/><BR/>That's it for my sleuthing.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175591212176951287noreply@blogger.com
