We would like to see Seitz's statistics on Ohio Guard deployment based on population compared against the contribution from other states !

It would appear that these are reverse "ROVE" hiring techniques ?

"Rove" and his "state street" boys will not hire anyone unless they are the same wRong wingnut whacko political hacks, and, Now, our state seems to be punished for electing an opposition party, NON-wRong wingnut whacko, governor !

PATHETIC !

HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007

This is what the Enquirer reported here in March:

Clancy-Seitz primary clash next March?

Is it a political game of chicken, or will there be a primary for the 8th District Senate seat next March?

State Rep. Bill Seitz, a Republican from Green Township, said today that he will run a primary if necessary next year if Sen. Patricia Clancy, R-Colerain Township, seeks re-election. “I intend to run for the Ohio Senate seat in 2008,’’ Seitz said. “There could end up being a primary.”

Clancy said, “I’m planning on running.”

Seitz said he bowed out of a bid for Senate in 2004 since Clancy was term-limited out of her House seat.

Asked about a possible appointment as county director of adult probation to get her out of Seitz’ sights, Clancy said, “That’s a rumor.”

Seitz will be term-limited out of his House seat at the end of next year.

“People are trying to talk to him (Seitz) about different positions as well,’’ Clancy said. “We’ll see what happens.”

It seems a bit early to be talking about 2008, Seitz said, but at least two people already are vying for his House seat, Robert Mecklenborg, a lawyer in Green Township, and Dick Hammersmith, a political consultant.

Please, pray tell, what are Clancy's qualifications to run the probation department - and all the Enquirer writes is a Republicans opinion - how about the other side of the story --

I have heard Jim Raussen is also considering a run for this position.

Anon 12:46, Clancy was a probation officer for many many years prior to her election to the statehouse.

As for "the other side", the GOP caucus fills the seat and she was hired by a GOP judge. They quoted Democrat TOM LUKEN. What "other side" are you looking for here?

I betcha Colerain Township Fiscal Officer Heather Harlow is going for this seat, too.

She has Steve Chabot doing a fund-raiser for her at $100 a pop? Tomorrow? That's not a township fund-raiser, people. She's thinking higher up.

The County Party is greasing the skids for Seitz. Harlow's fund-raiser isn't on their calendar of events, but it's all over the e-mails for the Blue Chip RINOs.

This could be a fun one to watch.

Replacing a woman with a woman would be a good move. On the other hand, Harlow is still really young and new to the job and her husband is a total wack job.
