From the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
Bob McEwen, the former Republican congressman who ran second to Jean Schmidt in last June’s 2nd District special primary election, said Wednesday he will take her on again in the May 2 GOP primary.
Surrounded by about 30 supporters Wednesday morning at the Mercy HealthPlex in Anderson Township, McEwen emphasized his experience as a six-term congressman and said he is running because “this is not a moment in our history that rewards good intentions. More is needed from our representatives."
But McEwen’s rematch with Schmidt, who went on to win the 2nd District special election on Aug. 2, is likely to be a head-to-head contest with an incumbent of his own party, instead of the 11-candidate scramble that took place in last June’s special GOP primary.
My favorite part? This little bit of whining:
Despite being the first-place candidate in five of the seven 2nd District counties, McEwen came in second to Schmidt with about 26 percent of the vote.
...because, you know, it doesn't really matter how he lost because he lost.
