As everyone knows by now, Marc Dann has finally resigned as Attorney General of the Great State of Ohio. He says his highest priority now is "family." My favorite part of the Enquirer story is this quote from Gov. Strickland:“Maturity,” Strickland said without hesitation, asked what qualities he would look for in a new attorney general.If only Ohio Democrats had done that the first time...
So what happens now? Strickland gets to appoint a lame duck and we get a special election in November where Ohioans have an opportunity to correct their mistake.
Quick analysis: Dann's resignation was the best outcome for everybody... Dann gets to not be attorney general, the Democrats didn't have to go through the motions trying to convince people that they aren't corrupt, and the Republicans are prevented from taking yet another opportunity to blow it. All in all, it's Dancing Snoopy Time...so without further adieu...
Exit Question: Did Jon Husted hug the governor at the press conference?
UPDATE 1: The AP News Alert is pretty cool even if they didn't name his party...
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio AG resigns in face of possible impeachment, investigation into scandal-plagued office."Scandal-plagued"...I like the sound of that...maybe we'll hear more of that...
