Republican Wins Ohio House Race

In what Democrats ridiculously called a "bellweather for 2006," the GOP retained an Ohio House seat in a special runoff election. Red State points out a couple of key facts about the race - namely, that this Democrat did not run on a Democratic platform and had to show pro-Bush ads to even keep things close.

The Democrats will say that Republicans need to "watch out" because of the close race, but when a Democrat tries to run as a pro-military conservative (read: a Republican), I think we know what works and doesn't work in U.S. elections. Dems can't win unless they try to be something they're not.
