The DeWine Challenge and big crowds at hockey games (even when there were 2 teams) are both stories happening right under their noses that they ignore (or ignored). And you're right about the effort to bring hockey back. I just happened to hear about it on one of the Homer talk shows in the car because I got tired of Hannity, and apparently someone's been trying to do something for months (Robinson at the Gardens, I think). Does the Invisibler care? Nope. #4, your parallel to hockey is growing on me.

It seems the once powerful mr. bronson is no more than a puppet for the Gannett controlled paper. and here i thought once he had ethics. I guess it is just about the paycheck for him and he is phoning it in. pathetic. as a hockey fan, this is par for the course with the invisibler. they destroyed cincinnati hockey teams by never covering them until it was folding time. now they only cover the effort to revitalize hockey because it looks like it is going to fail. way to contribute to positivity, jerkweeds. that's why i don't buy the rag anymore.

Alan Dixon (D) lost to Carole Mosley Braun (D) in a 3-way primary. And, iirc, she, in turn, lost in one of her re-election primaries. I'm not sure if Peter Fitzgerald (R) who had so little 'establishment' support he declined to run in the primary would count. His eventual replacement, Barack Obama, cruised to victory beating a replacement candidate when the winner of the 2004 Republican Senatorial primary had to resign.
