FYI

*  Josh Mandel, current Republican candidate, reportedly took the Ohio Bar Exam in 2004.  However, a search of the Ohio Supreme Court's list of licensed lawyers in the state, does not list his name.  Did Josh Mandel pass the bar exam?

Josh Mandel served three whole years in the Ohio House of Representatives, and did not finish his term of office so that he could run for another office.

By the way, if you were hoping that Josh Mandel would be at work on Tuesday, March 13th at 9am, you're wrong.  According to a release by a 9/12Meetup group, Josh Mandel, Ohio Treasurer, will be at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Cincinnati on 3/13 at 9am for a campaign event.  Does this guy ever go to work?????


* Things are so bad in Ohio Republican circles, even their former consultants are bad-mouthing them.

Dispatch:

A former Ohio Republican official described Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine in an e-mail last October to the Mitt Romney campaign as “very high maintenance" and “who still thinks he's in the Senate," adding he did not believe it was “worth our time" to have Romney call DeWine.....


...The e-mail was written after DeWine, who served two terms in the U.S. Senate, had endorsed Romney for the Republican presidential nomination. DeWine last month dropped his endorsement of Romney in favor of former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum. The e-mail was inadvertently sent to DeWine. He was unavailable for comment.....  

...Buerck, who is president of Majority Strategies, a direct mail political firm in Florida, said today that he “was proud to help Mike DeWine get elected as attorney general and now I'm proud to be working to help elect Mitt Romney President."

The backstabbing in the Ohio GOP continues.
