From the Business First (Louisville) via the WMD Mailbag:Former U.S. Congressman Bob McEwen has joined the Washington, D.C., and Cincinnati offices of Greenebaum Doll & McDonald PLLC law firm.These aren't the moves of a guy who is supposed to announce that he is running in a primary against Jean Schmidt. Is he hedging his bets or just trying to make us bloggers go crazy figuring him out?
He is part of the Louisville-based firm's regulatory and administrative practice and will focus on governmental affairs, according to a news release.
McEwen represented Ohio in the U.S. House of Representatives for six terms, beginning in 1980.
Prior to that, he was a member of the Ohio General Assembly for three terms.
Greenebaum Doll & McDonald has offices in Louisville, Cincinnati, Washington, D.C., Nashville, Atlanta and Lexington, Frankfort and Covington, Ky.
Mark's Remarks
This is called CYA. You see, Bob still has to make a living, even when he loses the race against Schmidt. So, therefore, he joined this to cover his butt. I think he sees the conservative movement, for the most part, rallying around Jean after her Murtha moment, and that lessens his odds of making a go. Therefore, unless Jean inserts her runner's foot in her mouth again, he may not get serious about the race.
