One thing was clear at last nights ODP town hall meeting, Chris Redfern is the clear choice to lead Ohio's democrats.  There were only three credible candidates going into last night, Chris Redfern, Mr. Lieberman and Susan Gwinn.  

     Chris Redfern has a clear vision of expanding the party into non-traditional sectors.  Chris is a proven leader who is not afraid to reach across the spectrum and give everyone a seat at the table.  Chris is a proven fundraiser and leader and is the clear choice to be ODP chair.
    Mr. Lieberman while a qualified candidate has failed to address how he will reach outside of his own community to address the concerns of ODP chair.  We are 5 months from the primary and 11 months from Ohio biggest election it is imperative that we have a chair that already has established relationships statewide.  We DO NOT have time for a learning curve.  
    This leaves us with Ms. Gwinn.  I will tell a simple story of the first time I met Ms Gwinn this should be enough to explain why she is wrong for ODP.  I met Ms Gwinn at a fundraiser introduced myself and suggested that Ms. Gwinn meet with a local start up group based at Athens.  Ms Gwinn advised me that she didn't meet with "those kinda groups".  Ms Gwinn's flat refusal to meet with start up groups is explanation enough as to why she is wrong for ODP and wrong for Ohio.

Chris Redfern is the clear choice to lead Ohio's Democratic Party.
