From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
If you are a congressman who would like a promotion to the U.S. Senate some day, the best way to do that is to get outside the confines of your little congressional district and start making yourself known in parts of the state where no one knows your name.
Which explains why the keynote speaker at this year's Clermont County Democratic Party's Golden Donkey Dinner on April 19 is none other than Tim Ryan, the Democratic congressman from Ohio's 17th Congressional District, which includes Youngstown.
Ryan is said to be eyeing the Senate seat of Republican George Voinovich, which comes up again in 2010. Voinovich has said he would be running for a third term.
Awhile back, I said that if Voinovich didn't retire, the Ohio Democrats would run any socialist against him and win. They have found their socialist.
