“***
Padgett, who announced her candidacy as Ney quit the race amid scandal and sagging poll numbers, was one of eight people to file petitions yesterday for the Sept. 14 special election. Two others currently serve as elected officials: Dover Mayor Richard P. Homrighausen and Holmes County Commissioner Ray L. Feikert.
***
Some Republicans had hoped to clear a path for Padgett as the only candidate to replace Ney, avoiding a $500,000 special election. But the field of wouldbe contenders ballooned yesterday.
***
Others who submitted petitions are:

• Coshocton farmer Samuel G. Firman.
• Former Guernsey County health commissioner John R. Bennett.
• Perennial candidate Ralph L. Applegate of Columbus.
• Financial analyst James Brodbelt Harris of Zanesville.
• Gregory L. Zelenitz of Belmont, a board member of the Ohio National Road Association.

Send in the clowns.

1. I know John R. Bennett personally...

Not a bad guy but still a Republican! He actually worked for Bob Ney as some sort of aid, so he is probably cut from the same cloth. I just hope one of them pulls an upset and kicks Padgett's ass (sorry I despise that woman). But I guess I should face reality...none of this matters because Zack Space will win in November no matter what!
