Rep. Zack Space (D-Ohio) endorsed Ohio lieutenant governor Lee Fisher in the contested Democratic primary for the state's Senate seat.
Space said he backed Fisher over Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner because he was persuaded that Fisher was best qualified to help bring economic development to his rural, eastern Ohio district.

"I have a high degree of respect and admiration for Jennifer. My endorsement of Lee is meant to be no reflection on her whatsoever," Space said. "But Lee has simply proven his commitment to people of southeast Ohio."

Space, as you are probably aware, was considering running for Senate himself earlier in the year. With this news, we can now conclusively remove him from our Open Seat Watch.

1. Fisher has to be considered the frontrunner.

I just hope the Democratic primary doesn't hurt the party too much.

2. After everything Jennifer has done for the Democrats in OH, she is now being stabbed in the back?

WOW! We Democrats sure know how to treat our own, but we lack the balls the hold the Republicans' feet to the fire. :puke::puke::puke:

3. Space is a Blue-dog Dem

This endorsement only enhances my support for Brunner.
