Guess who else got a free ticket?

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters confirmed to the Enquirer this afternoon that he got two free tickets to Sen. Mike DeWine’s fundraiser with President Bush at a private Indian Hill home today.

Deters, who spoke on his cell phone as he was entering the event site, said he took WLW 700 talk show host Bill Cunningham as his guest.

“It’s always a good time to see the president,” Deters said.

We already know that Republican Reps. Steve Chabot of Westwood and Jean Schmidt of Miami Township, who will be meeting Bush at the airport and riding in his motorcade to the event, got free tickets to the fundraiser (even though Schmidt also donated the required $4,200 to DeWine's campaign).

But what about DeWine’s son, Hamilton County Commissioner Pat DeWine, who came in a distant fourth to Schmidt in last year’s special election primary for the 2nd District?

“I think it’s safe to assume that family members will be allowed in free of charge,” DeWine campaign manager Brian Seitchik said.
