Catagories provided By Plain Dealer

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 06/27/2009 - 10:23.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer today broke Cuyahoga County Democrats into four catagories, which I used for today's poll. They are listed in the article Thomas Day, Bedford clerk of courts, seen as likely candidate to replace Jimmy Dimora as Cuyahoga County Democratic chairman

Cuyahoga County Democrats are roughly divided into four groups:

  1. Dimora and county Auditor Frank Russo, another focus of the corruption probe, control the southeast suburbs.
  2. County Prosecutor Bill Mason and Parma Mayor Dean DePiero control the southwest suburbs and Cleveland's West Side.
  3. U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge and Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson lead black Democrats.
  4. The fourth "faction" consists of everyone else, primarily Democrats from the West Shore communities and Northeast suburbs.
