Almost at the very beginning of a recent speech, Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards reminded his Southern University audience that they were used as a backdrop "to scare people" in an ad attacking him during the 2015 gubernatorial campaign.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, left, talks with Altoona Mayor Dean O'Connor during a tour of a carpenters training facility in Altoona, Iowa.

For Democrats in this year's race for Ohio governor, the choice should come down to passion, vision and an ability to grasp the bully pulpit to inspire Ohioans about the need for change. Ohio's next governor must be a fighter -- a fighter for greater equity, justice and common sense; a fighter for the state's urban centers; and a fighter against the moribund thinking on education, diversity, economic opportunity and home-rule rights that's held Ohio back for too long.
Early this past Sunday morning, at the last minute, Kansas legislators passed a school funding bill of more than $500 million.

The Mueller Special Counsel appointment is predicated on the notion that President Trump's campaign colluded with Russia to assure the defeat of Hillary Clinton -- a notion so ludicrous only a Democrat could fall for it. Dennis Miller sets it out simply so we can see how preposterous a notion this is: Dennis Miller?@DennisDMZ Obviously Trump is a Russian Agent.

Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and Donald Trump's presidential campaign is starting to display similarities to Ken Starr's probe into Bill and Hillary Clinton.
