The Dream Team?

Politics and Prisons: The Regional Roundtable
Aired Thursday, November 15, 2007
Recent polls show the majority of Ohioans are pretty happy with the way Governor Strickland is doing his job and they’d like to see him continue doing it. They don’t want him to be the vice-presidential nominee on a Democratic ticket. Ohio prisons are stuffed with more than 50,000 convicts and there’s every indication the population will rise. Cleveland police netted a big pile of weapons in their recent gun buyback program. College presidents in Ohio are making a small mountain of money for running our institutions of higher learning. A new poll shows little inclination to share the benefits of citizenship with illegal immigrants and C.C. Sabathia is named the American League’s best pitcher. Join us for the roundtable Thursday 9 a.m.

Guests: Jill Miller Zimon, blogger, Writes Like She Talks
Mark Naymik, politics reporter, The Plain Dealer
Thomas Mulready, Cool Cleveland.com

    Jill:

    Listened to it this morning. I thought you did fine. You have a good voice for radio. Naymik was typical of an establishment reporter. My biggest beef was no mention of Ron Paul! I also didn’t like the way the one passionate woman was cut off supposedly because of her connection. I could hear her just fine. I wonder if the host has a problem with emotional callers.

    Hi Keith – thanks. I thought each of us brought something very different but still helpful (though I know I get a little out there sometimes I think – I can’t help it).

    You are right re: Ron Paul – though a couple of callers did, and Dan Moulthrop might have, I don’t remember. We talked about Paul during the breaks I think – and I confess, I know almost nothing about him except allegations that he’s racist or anti-Semitic I think, yes?

    With that caller – seriously, no – her call was really, really hard to track in our headphones – she was breaking up very badly. I understand how it might have sounded – it did seem abrupt – but the call was breaking up almost from the start – I was surprised they stuck with it as long as they did and I’m glad Mark Naymik addressed her concerns-even though I don’t think she understood my reference to skills and money, in moi’s defense :)
