I just got back from the Ideas on the March party that the Warren County Democratic Party held. Somewhere between 65-70 people attended (great turn out). It was a celebration of the success the Democrats had in the 2006 elections in Warren County as well as a little fundraiser. The volunteers worked so hard and it paid off in Ohio and Warren County. We saw some old friends from Hamilton and Cleremont Counties too.

Vic Wulsin, Rick Smith (and I), the 2006 candidates, and Gabby Downey, a candidate in the 2nd primary, had great time talking to all the volunteers who helped us increase the Democratic percentages across the board. Personally, it was great to see everyone again and have some time just to talk socially. They are truly a terrific group of people. There were some potential Democratic candidates for the 2007 elections in attendance but I’ll let them announce their candidacies themselves. There were a lot of new faces too which is very encouraging. This is the continuing trend in SW Ohio - the Democrats are attracting people and growing the county parties.

The Areys from Cleremont Democratic Party County came. Democrats can always count on Russ to help out and he auctioned off a few items for a nice chunk of change. It’s great entertainment to listen to Russ get people to bid. Russ can sell absolutely nothing for quite a bit of money. Seriously, it beautiful to behold and I’m just glad he’s on our side.

It was a lot of fun (which was the goal), raised some funds to help get Democratic elected, watched the OSU basketball game and visited with a lot of friends and probably ate too much. All in all, a pretty good night.

Rove gets it… I wonder if the DCCC finally will? How about the Hamilton County Dems? Is third time the charm?

Everyone is invited to the Warren County Democratic Party’s Ideas on the March Party. Join us Saturday, March 31, 5-9 pm, at the Idea House, Villages at Riversbend, South Lebanon. Great food, cash bar, entertainment and great company (and yes, there are TVs to watch basketball), suggested donation $25/person.

After the whirlwind of the 2004 elections, the special election in the 2nd and then the 2006 elections, we deserve to celebrate our success. Rumor has it that a lot of the 2006 candidates will be there too. The Idea House is a 5000 sq. ft. model home beautifully decorated in a lovely setting. I71 to south Rt. 48. Turn left at the light at Dwire Rd. across from Riversbend Golf course and at the sales office for the Villages at Riversbend. Immediate left on Lebanon Rd. and then a right on Zoar Rd. and follow signs to the Idea House. 2006 Campaign signs will be out to guide the way (old signs can be recycled and put to good use- at least we picked up our signs).

We just request that you RSVP to the WCDP by phone or email. Heaven forbid we don’t have enough food or drink. I hope to see everyone there and please bring a few friends. You don’t have to live in Warren County to party with Warren County Democrats.
