* The more Rand Paul talks, the more he appears as a kook. Saying he believed that business owners should have the right to discriminate, really sounds absolutely bizarre in 2010. You almost wonder what other backward thinking and anti-civil rights views Rand Paul has. We might not find out since he apparently is planning to avoid any additional interviews with the press.
* Oh, my. There appears to be a battle for leadership for the Franklin County GOP, according to the Dispatch. Republicans need not worry because the powers in the Republican Party have already decided which candidate will lead the party in central Ohio. It seems that the Republican big shots will dictate what happens next.
* John Kasich loves to talk about his accomplishments--- some real, but most have been overstated. It appears that many people are doubting Kasich's latest claim.

...Google hired 28 underwriting banks with Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse First Boston as the lead underwriters and Lehman coming in fifth in the pecking order, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Kasich’s former boss at Lehman Brothers, Gary Weinstein, said the company “didn’t play a significant role” in Google’s Initial Public Offering, or IPO.....
Is this just more b.s. from Kasich?
