[img_assist|nid=1481|title=Cindy and John McCain at Capital University|desc=Politicker Photo|link=none|align=left|width=420|height=220]COLUMBUS – John McCain built the election as the choice between voting for the country or voting for Barack Obama today during a campaign rally.

Space campaign: Dailey’s illiterate

By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

The campaign of U.S. Rep. Zack Space (D-Dover) said opponent Fred Dailey (R-Mt. Vernon) can’t perform the basic function of a representative: understanding legislation.

Dailey: Space votes for 'scam' energy bill, has double-talk on ethics

By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

The campaign for 18th Congressional district candidate Fred Dailey (R-Mt. Vernon) fired a double-barreled shot at U.S. Rep. Zack Space (D-Dover)this week: one aimed at knocking Space on voting for a "scam" energy bill and the other for keeping $20,000 in donations from a powerful House Democrat under fire for ethical violations.

Both issues are big in the district because it is home to coal mines and the former district of U.S. Rep. Bob Ney (R) who went to jail for ethics violations -- an issue Space campaigned on to win two years ago.

By David DeWitt, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Lorain) announced his support for a new economic recovery package in a conference call with Michigan Democrats, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-Mich.).

"One of the first things we should do is extend unemployment benefits," Brown said. "That's money that goes directly into people's pockets. That's money that gets directly spent in communities, generating more economic activity for the whole economy, and that's how we fix this in my state or any other state."

O’Neill camp hitting LaTourette for talking about Caribou, Viagra and pipelines

By David DeWitt, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-Chagrin Falls) made a joke.

LaTourette was explaining to the Twinsburg and Hudson Chambers of Commerce how the construction of a pipeline had not harmed the local Caribou population in Alaska, but instead had grown it five-fold since the 1970s because "the warmth" of the pipeline had been making the caribou "frisky."
