"The Statewide Elections in Ohio"
September 15, 2006
First Floor Lounge, Guilford House
12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Mark Naymik
Plain Dealer State Politics Reporter

Dear Colleagues:
Once more Ohio is a major battleground in the national
election, but this year control of state government – or
at least partial control – is also up for grabs. Does
Blackwell have a chance, in spite of the polls? Does
Brown have a real chance? What developments over the
next two months could determine the outcome on November
7?
Some of our colleagues, and students, will share their
knowledge (and guesses) later in the term. But to set
the stage, and inform us all, we’re very glad to host at
this Friday’s Public Affairs Lunch Mark Naymik, who
covers state politics for the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Please join us from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday,
September 15, in the Guilford Lounge, on the first floor
of Guilford House. Guilford House is on Bellflower,
across from the parking lot for the Cleveland Institute
of Art, and just down the street from the Peter B. Lewis
building. It’s the yellow building with the nice porch.
The public affairs lunch is open to all. Lunch is brown
bag, but beverages are provided courtesy of the Office
of University Communications and cookies are provided
courtesy of generous souls.
All the best,
Joe White
