I've been rather lukewarm on the idea of Mike DeWine for Attorney General, but I may have just found a reason to root for him in the Toledo Blade:Lori Viars of Lebanon, Ohio, the executive director of Family First, a conservative, Christian political action committee, said Republicans cannot afford to leave any of their traditional voters on the sidelines.If Lori is against it, you can generally find me on the other side...
"We need the fresh face of a good person who's tough on crime and who's squeaky clean with not a lot of baggage," she said.
"If you look at the special congressional races run across the country, pro-life Democrats have beaten the Republicans three straight."
Who else is preaching the Lori Viars gospel? Chris Redfern...that's who. Intrepid reporter Josh Sweigart got this quote:
Rep. Chris Redfern, chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, said Democrats are still more trusted than Republicans by the general public. And he's ready to take on DeWine, who he says is the likely nominee.You stay classy, Chris Redfern. Say, how is it we got in this mess in the first place? Oh yeah, Chris Redfern and his Democrats promised to run honest government in this state...and as usual, failed miserably.
"If there's anyone who represents the past and not the future, it's Mike DeWine," Redfern said. "His pitiful record in the Senate is one of the reasons why the voters threw him out a couple years ago."
