Ohio: Oh-18

Space attacks cash-strapped Dailey on TV

By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

U.S. Rep. Zack Space (D-Dover) has more than 11 times as much cash on hand than Fred Dailey (R-Mt. Vernon) and the 18th Congressional District race isn't listed as competitive by many national observers.

But that didn't prevent Space from launching an attack ad against Dailey -- who isn't even on television himself. 

The 30-second ad was seen by PolitickerOH.com during the 8:00 hour on a Columbus station. It attacks Dailey for supporting NAFTA and American jobs.

Space, Dailey react to bailout bill

By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com Reporter

U.S. Rep. Zack Space (D-Dover) was one of seven Ohio representatives to vote in favor of the bailout bill yesterday. Space said in a statement that he was disappointed the bill didn’t pass.

“We are at a crossroads in America, and I am truly dispirited that, today, Congress could not political differences aside and rise to the occasion of averting what may well be an economic disaster,” Space said, adding that the bill’s failure may result in bank failures, bankruptcies and job loss.

However, the bill was not perfect.

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.
