Another day, another brutal conversation about Ted Strickland’s floundering campaign.
The video needs little introduction, WATCH HERE.
Transcript:
Tracy Maxwell Heard: The conversation we’re not having – There’s so much focus on Ted Strickland because he’s the former Governor, but I’m not convinced Ted Strickland will be the one who comes through the primary on the Democratic side.
Scott Light: Really?
Heard: Absolutely not. He’s been ghost, he’s not been speaking to any of the issues, he’s refusing to debate. P.G. Sittenfeld is just blazing through the state and creating a great groundswell of support, so I’m not certain that Ted Strickland will be the democratic nominee.
Light: Are you endorsing Sittenfeld?
Heard: If I were asked to endorse, I’d put my money on Sittenfeld. For sure.
Light: He is a youngcomer, and he’s got a lot of ideas and a lot of great energy but you don’t think that Ted Strickland is a lock here at all?
Heard: No I don’t think he’s a lock because things are very volatile politically and within the Democratic party as well. People are looking for leaders to emerge who are going to actually be aggressive and be fighters and go in as advocates for them, and that is how P.G. Sittenfeld is presenting himself. You have to be on the field to actually be in the fight, and Ted has been invisible.
