Husted Throws a Tantrum

Ohio GOP's "golden boy" (aka Jon Husted) filed suit today:
Dayton Daily News:

State Sen. Jon Husted, R-Kettering, sued Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in the Ohio Supreme Court, saying the residency challenge against him should be dismissed.

Husted also argued that Brunner had no right to base a decision on documents she subpoenaed in her investigation of complaints that he does not reside at his 148 Sherbrooke Ave., home and instead lives with his wife and kids in Upper Arlington....

.... Brunner spokesman Patrick Gallaway said Brunner had been close to a decision, which could have been issued today or tomorrow but she will wait for the Supreme Court to act....


The most interesting part of the article includes the comments on the article. The comments don't seem friendly toward Husted, who lives in Upper Arlington, but represents Kettering. Husted doesn't have a very high name recognition in the state, and he might be doing this for publicity. While his campaign coffers are filling up fast with donations from right wing groups, PACs, and pro-charter school supporters, people in many parts of the state have never heard of him.
