Carnival #102

January 30, 2008 |

This week’s Carnival is dedicated to the 102nd Session of Congress, which served from January 3, 1991 through January 3, 1993. The biggest piece of legislation passed during this time was the 1991 Civil Rights Act. Tom Foley, who would lose his race 1994, was the Speaker. George Mitchell was the Senate Majority Leader; Bob Dole the Minority Leader. Ohio’s representation sure had a different look: John Glenn and Howard Metzenbaum were our senators. Not many of the House members remain. Only Dave Hobson, John Boehner, Marcy Kaptur, and Ralph Regula remain - and Hobson and Regula are not running for reelection. Ohio also had 21 House seats then - today we have 18 and looking to lose at least one more soon.Three entries from Conservative Culture. CC wants to see Mike Huckabee come to Ohio and hit on issues he thinks some of the other candidates are missing. Is this election going to be one where we have to “hold our nose” in order to vote Republican? Finally, the third post is about a specific line from the SOTU that gave this blog a laugh.
