Now for the really sad part, check this out:
Doing a Google news search on “Ohio democratic party dinner” turns up two clusters: three stories focusing on Obama and the dinner, and 18 stories focusing on Blackwell’s Black GOP gathering nearby. Blackwell’s last minute counter-event totally dominated the main stream media news coverage.
I suggest the Democrats gear up for counter-events on voting at the same time and near the location of other major Ohio GOP events.

Wow, Chris, that’s unbelievable. Not the meta-list (which is of course FABULOUS – thank you) but the Blackwell coverage thing. What is WITH that? Am I that naive? I hate when that happens. Sigh.
The ODP got outplayed mediawise, and the state newspapers totally went along with it. It’s obvious from the coverage that Blackwell can expect them to be a major ally. The Dems will need to play into this dynamic.
