In the popular 1993 film starring Bill Murray, Murray is doomed to relive the same day over and over again. But for Ted Strickland, reliving the same day over and over again is a conscious choice.
For example, career politician Ted Strickland has run for office 13 times dating back to 1976!
That includes Congressional bids in 1976, 1978, 1980, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, as well as gubernatorial bids in 2006 and 2010, and now, his campaign for U.S. Senate.
But nothing has been more true to Groundhog Day’s symbolism than day after day after day of bad coverage for Retread Ted Strickland.
