Comments on: Anger, pleading for Dann to stop the madness http://www.writeslikeshetalks.com/2008/04/30/anger-pleading-for-dann-to-stop-the-madness/ "She is very powerful, so be nice to her." Former Chancellor, Ohio Board of Regents, Eric Fingerhut Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:51:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: WestEnder http://www.writeslikeshetalks.com/2008/04/30/anger-pleading-for-dann-to-stop-the-madness/comment-page-1/#comment-64046 WestEnder Thu, 01 May 2008 20:05:32 +0000 http://www.writeslikeshetalks.com/2008/04/30/anger-pleading-for-dann-to-stop-the-madness/#comment-64046 I still don't understand the monomania with Redfern, but whatever. I'd make 2 points, though: 1) The AG scandal is about not having a standard of professional ethics. That is the reason Dann is unsuited for the office. And Redfern can't do much about it; he's not the AG's supervisor. All this stuff about how Redfern needs to acknowledge that women are super duper awesome is just something you've thrown on because you need to hear it. It's totally unrelated to this issue. Women are leaders in science, business, academia, arts & letters, etc. They are professional athletes, even boxers and basketball players. I'm incredulous that you think (or seem to) that the deck is stacked against women. It could be personal experience, I suppose, because I've seen female after female among my family and friends succeed scholastically and professionally. 2) If I asked for a statement from Redfern, it would be that the ODP make a mistake in ignoring the grassroots by backing party loyalist Dann over more popular and better qualified Subodh Chandra, and that ODP won't do it again. Just think about how different that office would be with Chandra instead of Dann. I still don’t understand the monomania with Redfern, but whatever. I’d make 2 points, though:

I haven't agreed with everything that Strickland has done, but I trust him. I don't question his integrity. In contrast, I have no confidence in Dann's judgment and serious doubts about his integrity. He is simply not suited to hold statewide office. He needs to leave before he drags the ticket down with him. The contrast between Dann and Strickland is striking. I haven’t agreed with everything that Strickland has done, but I trust him.

All caps and bold.... Explanation points, muliple ones, even. Geez, what do you want from Jill? Blood? My first born son? (he's teething, so I doubt you'd want him.)
