Raese and the Golf Courses

* Why does John Raese, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, want to end the minimum wage?  Raese wants to be able to pay workers ten cents/hour if he so desires. 

* At the Huffington Post, Sam Stein has a posting that has Rush Limbaugh commenting about being in the locker room of an all white, elite golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, with John Raese, Republican part-time resident of West Virginia, Florida, and Colorado.

According to GHIN.com Handicap Lookup (on the "Lookup" page -click on Name & State to enter golfer's name and home state), Republican candidate for U.S. Senate for West Virginia, posted his golf scores for Florida and West Virginia.

In this posting of his golf scores, Raese claims that his home golf course membership is in Florida.

However, Raese also seems to have claimed his "home" golf membership at another golf course in West Virginia:

How interesting!  Notice that Raese spends winter months in Florida, but spring and summer in West Virginia. Right now, Raese seems to have overstayed his time in West Virginia. 
(Those winters in West Virginia are brutal.

Although I posted the following information on this blog on December 31, 2009, Jon Husted has removed it from the web.  His wife, Tina Husted is still a member at the Brookside Country Club in Columbus.  Jon Husted doesn't even belong to a golf club in his "district" in Kettering.
