Robocall from Pepper

[Morne]

Just got a robocall from Pepper (D, running for AG against DeWine). The recording used quotes from pro-gun groups who were against DeWine in the past to make it seem like Pepper is the pro-gun choice. No gun group in Ohio has endorsed Pepper that I know of in this election cycle, though.

If Candidate Pepper manages to reach 40%, he should be pleased with his campaign. State-wide, this will be a blow out.

M – Don’t you have caller ID to avoid these pesky Democrat robo-calls?

I can't take Pepper serious as Ohio's "chief law enforcement officer" since I know that, like Mike DeWine, at heart he's a wimp. Sorry, I want my state AG to be a bit of a tough guy (or gal). Don't think I'll ever forgive the Republicans for yanking Dave Yost off the spot on the ticket last time.

Honestly, in terms of intestinal fortitude, Richard Cordray made a better impression on me as AG. He showed up at our Second Amendment rally at the Statehouse back about 2008; I'm sure being around a bunch of gun-toters, no matter how civil we spoke and acted, was his cup of tea, but he showed only cordiality, not fear or disdain.

And maybe Jim Petro, for the couple of things he did (erasing New Rome from the map, and standing up to Cuyahoga County Sheriff McFaul when he said he wasn't going to issue carry licenses back in 2004) was perhaps the standard bearer for the position of Attorney General.

Another lesser-of-the-evils situation.

Candidate Pepper will receive about 40% of the vote. A nice tally, but simply not enough to win.
