Those Ohio Republicans

Republican candidate for Ohio Secretary of State, Jon Husted, could suffer at the polls because of questions about his residency, according to an article at the Dayton Daily News.

State Sen. Jon Husted’s residency dispute will be decided by judges, but analysts say the court of public opinion will determine his political future....

....The impact of the case on Husted’s political future will hinge, in part, on the state high court’s decision, said Nancy Martorano Miller, assistant professor of political science at the University of Dayton. But even if he prevails in court, she said Democrats will make sure lingering questions remain about his residency.

“I would think they’re going to use the tack that he was knowingly being dishonest about his intention to return to Kettering after his term in public service ends,” Martorano Miller said. “So if he’s dishonest about that, then what else has he been dishonest about and would be dishonest about?”

I guess we'll have to see what happens.

>>> Republican John Kasich is a candidate for Ohio governor. Although Kasich plays down his close relationships with former President George W. Bush, and those right wingers at Fox News, it might be important to ask some questions about Kasich's friendships. Kasich was employed by Lehman Brothers and was very close to Chairman and CEO Richard Fuld.
