Dems Running for US Senate Update

We all know that Lieutenant Governor and Development Director Lee "Loser Man" Fisher and the most partisan Secretary of State in Ohio history, Jennifer Brunner are both planning to duke it out for the privilege of getting beat by Rob Portman.

But there are two other names that I keep hearing as also being interested...

Zack "Blue Dog Puppy" Space apparently thinks that he has represented his constituents in San Francisco so well, that he ought to run statewide. What? San Francisco isn't in Ohio? Hmm...Zack might be in trouble, then.

The other name that is still being tossed around is Rep. Tim Ryan. Of all of the Democrats we've discussed, Ryan is the one that keeps me up at night. Ryan could run a formidable campaign against Portman. Fortunately, Governor "T-Shirt" Ted Strickland and Chris Redfern are already backing Fisher, so it isn't all that likely that Ryan will jump in anyway.
