What’s Wrong with This Picture? (Bob McEwen’s “McMentum”)
Besides the fact that the people in it are barely visible, plenty:
In the spirit of cooperation, Bob, you can use the pics below if you need ones that people will actually be able to see:
Tom Brinkman:
Here’s Mr. Brinkman cutting off Jean Schmidt’s head on a cake. Ha ha. Nice. You remember this, right, Bob? You should. You were there.
Eric Minamyer:
This original source of this photo is unknown, so I can’t be sure whether or not this is a picture of Minamyer entering a conference room at the Dayton Daily News with you, Jean Schmidt, and Jeff Morgan for a candidate interview during last year’s primary. It was at that meeting where Minamyer observed in a comment posted at NixGuy that he left the meeeting “a bit surprised …… that no newspaper has ever reported that he (that means you, Bob) makes his living representing foreign interests.” Though he supports you now, he has never explained why your occupation, which bothered him then (see the link for more detail), doesn’t bother him now.
Steve Austin:
No, not him….
Yeah, him. Mr. 217 Votes.
Doug Mink:
Sorry, couldn’t resist …..
Here he is. Mr. All of 90 Votes.
Hopefully, Bob, these photos will help you cobble together a better group photo at your web site.
Seriously folks, when’s the last time a candidate put together a Who’s Who of congressional losers to support a winning campaign? (Now I’m sure they are all wonderful human beings, which is why I called them “congressional losers.” This blog has manners. :–>) Bob calls this “McEwen Momentum” in his e-mail announcement. I see it as roughly identical to the “Joementum” Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman pretended to have about a week before he dropped out of the race for the 2004 Democrat presidential nomination. Maybe we should call whatever Bob thinks he has “McMentum(tm).”
A final note to Bob — Your announcement notes that “David R. Smith (is) not involved in the 2nd Congressional district race this year.” Too bad. Now that would be an endorsement made in heaven, because you two have so much in common. Both of you have fudged your career histories, both of you have a lot you won’t tell us, and both of you expect us to have blind faith that you’ll represent our best interests while giving us no good reason to expect it. And David “Mr. 362” Smith pulled more votes than Austin and Mink combined!
Bob McEwen has lost at least 3 or 4 elections in the past 14-15 years. This picture should carry the caption: “Birds of a feather….”

Regardless of what happens on May 2nd, these men have proven who and what they really are…
“The Hee-man Woman-Haters Club.”

At least men who believed they were capable of performingthe duties of a congressman have acepted the fact tat Bob McEwen can do a better job than the incumbent Jean Schmidt. Add Tom Brinkman to the list and these folks drew 15% more of the general elcetion than Jean Schmidt did. I WANT SOMEONE I CAN RESPECT IN CONGRESS AND THAT PERSON IS BOB McEWEN!

#3, Jeff I actually feel sorry for you today. I know you’ve invested a lot in McEwen. I don’t see how you can continue to back someone who has so obviously broken the law with his and his wife’s voter registration and whose wife (at least) has voted illegally as The Enquirer has essentially proven.
I think you have to admit that this is uacceptable and a disqualifier. Or do we have to wait for the perp walk? Frankly if you don’t think this is unacceptable, you’ve DQ’d yourself from the discussion.
This is a very very sad day for a lot of people, and yes, including me. As someone who believes in the integrity of the vote, I feel violated; I KNOW I’m not alone.
Don’t make it worse by trying to defend the indefensible. And I’m not even sure the Enquirer is done. There are plenty of other places they could go.
If you really don’t like Schmidt, there’s Deb Kraus. There should have been Tom Brinkman. If McEwen had been honest with himself about his vulnerabilities, he would not have run. He betrayed you too.

[...] Minamyer who was a big backer of Jean Schmidt when she was running against Paul Hackett. BizzyBlog gives a breakdown of each of the endorsers. [...]
