I agree.
When a six month wait was ordered regarding gas well drilling late last year in Ohio and senior US Senator from Ohio, Sherrod Brown, supported that, Ohio Treasurer and GOP candidate set to challenge Brown, Josh Mandel, wrote and spoke publicly against the halt, saying Brown supports Washington bureaucrats and was a fringe extremist. Politifact said Josh’s pants were on fire but will he lob similar invective at Gov. Kasich now? Honestly.
Actually, Josh has flip flopped on whether identity politics matter. Early on, he said it didn’t but within the last two years, he has been quoted as indicating that he thinks the religion of a candidate can make a difference for voters. I’ve always said that of course it might - just like gender - but it is FAR from conclusive except for the most rigid one issue voters - which btw can go either way.
Uh oh, looks like another case for Politifact-the Globe article opens with a phrase about Mandel fundraising all over the country.
