In Ohio, businesses continue to suffer from the costly and unpopular health care overhaul that Lee Fisher enthusiastically supports. The Columbus Dispatch reports: …After claiming that the overhaul would “bend the cost curve down,” President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority barely managed to force the legislation through Congress, using political bribery and procedural sleight of hand in the face of hostile public opinion. In fact, the legislation contains little that will moderate the increases in the cost of health care and much that will drive increases…

The Dayton Daily News’ Jack Torry notes failed jobs czar Lee Fisher’s failure to raise campaign cash. What is it about Lee Fisher? … The polls show he is in a tight race for the U.S. Senate against Republican Rob Portman. But nobody seems to want to give him any money. … It is difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to overcome a 9-to-1 cash advantage, particularly in a state as large as Ohio. Not only will wealthy donors across the country be reluctant to throw money his way, but the national Democrat campaign committees may start looking at other races… And, unfortunately for Fisher, the small campaign treasury is clearly a sign that national Democrats are not entirely convinced he can win.
