Fisher Sends Out First Mailer - With Brunner's Icon Smack Dab in the Middle

It's nights like tonight that I swear Lee and Peggy Fisher probably want to run me down with their car. After having a nice conversation with Peggy at the Cleveland Stonewall Democrats meeting this evening, I come home to find Lee's first campaign mailer in the box. A clean, easy-to-read four-pager. The mailer highlights Lee's top campaign economic themes and ties in some images from the campaign trail. While the photo of Lee holding the welding mask is interesting, the one that screamed off the page was the image smack dab in the middle of the piece. There she is, tucked in neatly between Lee and a young Ohioan... Rosie the Riveter. The same Rosie icon being used in fairly heavy amounts by Lee's primary opponent Jennifer Brunner.
D'oh!
I know the banner in the back is for the Geauga Democratic Women's Caucus, but wow. Just wow. I'm not sure anyone else would notice it or connect the dots, but I saw it right away. Anyone else?
Hasn't the Geauga Women's Caucus
endorsed Jennifer? I'm pretty sure. I got the mailer too. It was pretty and splashy but pretty unpersuasive and content-free. If this is all he's got to bring against Rob Portman, we're in trouble if he wins the primary. I'll say what I've been saying all year: Lee, please — get a campaign. You can not just go on and on about how we've got to bring more jobs to Ohio. You've got to explain clearly and persuasively why you stepped down from your job working to do so. You have been lulled to sleep by Jennifer's relatively attack-free campaign and your own insistence on publicly ignoring her. Rob Portman will not be so kind.
