Ohio's Governor in Exile

Avid readers of Politics Extra may recall Sean Swain, the convicted murdered who ran for Governor last year from his Toledo jail cell. He occasionally sent interesting letters to Politics Extra.

We got another letter from Mr. Swain today, in which he declares himself "Ohio Governor in Exile" and complains that state officials never responded to his request to find out how many write-in votes he actually got.

"I know from credible sources that I received at least six votes," he notes.

Other highlights:

- "I have not conceded the election. In fact, I was sworn in as governor in a ceremony here in Toledo on the same day Ted Strickland moved all of his crap into my office."

- "With Ted Strickland stealing my paycheck every week, I have to find a source of income."

He enclosed his resume, which had some dirty words which prevented us from reproducing it here. But it has lines we can safely say we've never seen in another resume, including:

- "I worked as a recyclable bottle clerk, hiding in the bottle bin, smoking cigarettes and eating Ritz Crackers and Cheeze Whiz that I stole from the store shelf. Entertained cashiers making fun of one-armed store manager."

- A membership in a group called "Writers Against Verbs."
