Ohio: David Krikorian

May 15, 2009 - 10:56 am
NEWS FEED: Columbus Dispatch

Odd election claim to be heard

At issue are comments made by an Armenian-American congressional candidate during the 2008 campaign. A Republican congresswoman from Cincinnati, Jean Schmidt, claims her opponent violated election law when he accused her of being a puppet of Turkish efforts to deny that the mass killings of Armenians during World War I constituted genocide.

The commission found probable cause yesterday that David Krikorian's statements violated election law, voting unanimously to bring the case to a full hearing.

The 94-year-old killings in Turkey are an unlikely topic for a congressional campaign in America's heartland, where Schmidt's staunchly conservative values find favor among a large portion of her constituents.

OH-2: David Krikorian Will Run As A Democrat

By dpotts

Last year's Independent candidate against Jean Schmidt, David Krikorian, will seek the Democratic nomination in that race next year.

"After careful consideration of both political parties and another independent run, the decision became obvious, the Democratic Party is the party of America today. The Republican party has become the party of obstruction.

"Our district is a conservative district, they used to call conservative Democrats, Boll Weevil Democrats. Today we are called Blue Dog Democrats.

"I want to help our country get back on the road to economic prosperity.  Jean Schmidt and the Republican party had their chance to provide fiscal leadership and instead delivered enormous budget deficits and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.  With the support of the Democratic Party, I will beat Jean Schmidt in 2010"

So what does everyone think?
