A recent press release from the Bill Johnson campaign in OH-6 mentions that incumbent Democrat Charlie Wilson voted to adjourn the House before acting on the Bush tax cuts. According to the House roll call, this makes Wilson the fourth vulnerable Democrat and second so-called moderate Democrat who has voted to let his fortunes stand or fall with Nancy Pelosi. The other three vulnerable Democrats are Betty Sutton of OH-13, Marcy Kaptur of OH-9, John Boccieri from OH-16.

Even more interestingly, while we at Battle ‘10 are fond of poking fun at Mary Jo Kilroy, Democrat of OH-15, it’s worth noting that our favorite Democrat voted Nay on adjournment, alongside the actual Blue Dogs Steve Driehaus of OH-1 and Zack Space of OH-18. This effectively puts so-called “Blue Dogs” Wilson and Boccieri effectively to Kilroy’s Left on taxes, and in the company of bitterly unrepentant progressives. Both Kaptur and Sutton fall into this latter category, as do the only other two Democrats to have voted “Yea,” Tim Ryan and the ever-popular Dennis Kucinich.

Do I smell disingenuousness?
