Columbus surpasses Cincinnati
In case anyone's wondering, President Bush's visit to the Columbus suburb of Dublin yesterday ended his longest absence from the Buckeye state since he took office. His last visit to Ohio was June 9 to speak to the Ohio Highway Patrol Academy in Columbus.
Also, with yesterday's visit - his 39th - the Columbus area finally surpassed Greater Cincinnati in the number of presidential visits, bringing Columbus' tally to 12 while Cincinnati (including Indian Hill, West Chester, Hamilton and Wilmington) has had 11 visits.
But don't get carried away, Columbus.
Bush will be back in the Buckeye state next week (Feb. 23) for his 40th visit to headline a fundraiser dinner for Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Cedarville, at the Indian Hill home of Margie And Mark Hauser. That would tie Cincinnati and Columbus for the number of visits from the chief executive.
FYI, 62 percent of Bush visits to Ohio have been campaign-related.
