Reece: "I told them so.''
Cincinnati businessman Steve Reece, a former congressional candidate who made an unsuccessful bid for Ohio Democratic Party chairman last month, was miffed today by news that U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland has picked Lee Fisher as his running-mate in the governor's race.
In the Democratic Party, Reece said, "Minorities can't be governor. They can't be lieutenant governor. They can't be treasurer. They can't even be secretary of state."
"But we're going to run one for auditor in a contested primary,'' Reece said of state Rep. Barbara Sykes of Akron.
"I'm not saying (Fisher's) a bad candidate at all,'' Reece said. But if Democrats want to regain control of the Ohio General Assembly or win any statewide seats, the party needs to add some diversity to the ticket, he said.
"That's why I ran... I told them so.''
