DAYTON -- Montgomery County leaders made a plea to Gov. John Kasich to keep the 3rd Congressional District intact with no further split as part of the redistricting process. In the last redistricting in 2001, Montgomery County was divided, with about 22 percent going into the 8th District and the remainder being retained in the 3rd District, Commission President Debbie Lieberman and commissioners Judy Dodge and Dan Foley wrote in an Aug. 15 letter to the governor.
The campaign of Sen. Joe Lieberman yesterday described efforts to have Mr. Lieberman kicked out of the Democratic Party "Soviet-style tactics" and "dirty political tricks at its worst. These are Soviet-style tactics," Lieberman campaign spokesman Dan Gerstein said.
Now that we know who the two major party presidential nominees will be, it is time to begin in earnest that curious quadrennial ritual of speculating who each nominee will select as his running mate. With notable exceptions, the actual person chosen is rarely someone who was in the top tier of those predicted. Consider Harry Truman and John Bricker in 1944, Alban Barkley and Earl Warren in 1948, John Sparkman and Richard Nixon in 1952, Estes Kefauver in1956, Henry Cabot Lodge and Lyndon Johnson in 1960, William Miller in 1964, Ed Muskie and Spiro Agnew in 1968, Thomas Eagleton in 1972, Bob Dole in 1976, Geraldine Ferraro in 1984, Lloyd Bentsen and Dan Quayle in 1988, Al Gore in 1992, and Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman in 2000 - the large majority of running-mate picks were surprises.

Which brings us to the year 1596 AD. In that year, the Arab village of al-Majdal in the Ottoman Empire, located close to the ruins of ancient Ashkelon, had a population of 559 inhabitants. An industrious village, known for a weaving industry that produced silk for festival dresses, Al-Majdal's population grew to 11,000 by 1948. The poetic naming of their fabrics: "ji'nneh u nar" (heaven and hell),"nasheq rohoh" (breath of the soul) and "abu mitayn" (father of two hundred), signified the pride and originality of the Al-Majdal weavers. Not well recognized is that the territory awarded to the Palestinians in Resolution 181 extended along the coast to present day Ashdod, 38 kilometers above Gaza. AlMajdal had been awarded to the new Palestinian state. Also, not sufficiently explored is the ...

Malloy is the Democratic Party's endorsed candidate. Consistently ahead by double digits in polls of registered Democratic voters, due to name recognition from his 2006 battle with U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, a tally of likely voters released this month shows that lead dropping to 9 percentage points. What would he do for Kilgore, if he was governor?
