Static for DeWine

Things have still gotten a bit bumpy for Republican Sen. Mike DeWine across pockets of rural Ohio as he campaigns for reelection.

Two county GOP organizations have voted not to formally endorse the senator, and another has agreed his unknown opponent is equally qualified for the job.

Bill Pierce, a conservative math teacher and engineer who hopes to rise from political obscurity, tied with DeWine in Preble County last Thursday, which means the county executive committee there has officially chosen not to support the sitting senator. Preble County is on the Indiana line west of Dayton and might best be described as solid Midwestern farm country...

1. Almost sounds like a Democratic Primary campaign

Good to see they are having a little infighting of their own.

2. I said this all along on the Hacket matter

If Devines negatatives started looking too bad, the Repugs would replace him with a "winner" in their eyes.
