OH-16: Kirk Schuring's Having Trouble...

As we approach Election Day, you may have noticed a strange phenomenon while driving around your community.

If you're not sure what we're talking about, Team Boccieri documented it on video. Take a look...



That just appears to be more litter to clean up in Downtown Canton!

The NRCC seems to be pulling the plug on Schuring's campaign!

PolitickerOH.com reports:

House Republicans have slashed advertising time in the hotly contested race for Ohio's 16th Congressional District, the National Republican Congressional Committee confirmed today.

The NRCC had reserved $820,000 to spend over two weeks in the race between state Sens. Kirk Schuring (R-Jackson Township) and John Boccieri (D-Alliance), but it has decided to eliminate its second week of advertising, which was worth about $320,000.
The NRCC claims:

"The NRCC doesn't comment on strategy."
Ryan Rudominer, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said:


"No amount of spin from out of touch Washington Republicans during these tough economic times can cover up the fact that middle class Ohioans are simply rejecting Kirk Schuring for raising the gas tax to .28 per gallon costing families $250 million a year, supporting the infamous Taft tax hike costing $2.5 billion--the largest tax increase in Ohio history, all the while Schuring selfishly failed to pay more than $18,000 of his own in taxes."

With just 20 days until Election Day, it's looking more likely that Kirk Schuring picked the wrong year to run. On a final note, we sure did have fun in Jackson Township on Saturday night!
