Did Barbara Sykes quit or resign? The PD says both


People made a big deal over whether I quit or resigned and over whether Jeff Coryell was fired or quit re: Wide Open.

Here’s the Plain Dealer’s piece on Barbara Sykes. “Quit” is used in the headline. “Resign” is in the text of the article.

What do you think?

    “Quit” and “resign” are synonyms. “Quit/resign” and “fired” are obviously not.

    Oh she had a choice. We always have choices. One choice was a future with the Ohio Democratic Party. The other was to not have a future with the ODP Just my belief.

    Phew. So I can continue to say I resigned. You did draw a class distinction though, didn’t you John, about those two words?

    lol Keith – I think she is going to be just fine. I don’t really understand still exactly why she held onto the belief that it should move now, rather than wait. I would like to know more about what that was all about. But I met her a few times during the campaigning in 2006 – never personally just at events. I thought she was pretty impressive and seemed extremely well-liked. I’m sure she’ll be around.

    I’d say the OLBC might be readying the dogs of war.

    Jerid – how much is posturing, how much not?
