Since WMD is "turning into the semi-official GOP voice of Ohio" (and thanks for the praise, Bill!), I thought I'd take a moment to index the hot stories and update a few of the stories we've been covering lately...
OH-02: Jean Schmidt has captured the endorsements of three county parties already.
Tom Brinkman has announced his candidacy amid rumors that Phil Heimlich may be getting out of the race.
OH-05: Bob Latta wins. Post game analysis here and here.
OH-18: Jeanette Moll made her candidacy official recently. She trails in the money race, but is a strong candidate. Fred Dailey's campaign may have the cash, but I'm not hearing any buzz. Paul Phillips is a veteran, but his campaign doesn't seem to advancing anywhere at the moment. OH-18 sources can feel free to email me...
Zack Space analysis and updates here and here.
35th District - Ohio House: Ron Maag recently announced his candidacy amid rumors that Eric Minamyer may be asked by local party officials to step aside. John Rabenhold still holds the money crown, but there is speculation that yet another name may be thrown in to this race soon...Phil Heimlich.
Local Stuff: Check out the latest Brown County GOP news here. And Butler County GOP endorsements here, here, and here including some insight in to the 12th District Court of Appeals here and here.
Columbus Stuff: We've been a bit thin on stuff coming from Columbus lately...but we've got some stuff brewing that I can't spill just yet.
Congressional Stuff: Check out a brief recap of a conference call with two Republican leaders here. Revelations about Democrats and waterboarding here.
Tons of stuff from Republican Leader, my Congressman and a Great American -- John Boehner -- can be found right here.
Conservative Ideas: Read my views on Tax Cuts and Revenue Increases here. (I actually really like this sort of thing...and it is more in line with the stuff we used to write on WMD more often back in the old days...)
