GOP Mud Wrestling in Ohio

*sigh* I guess this is what the GOP brings to politics these days.

"From a lawsuit and physical blowup, to dark money, sexting and allegations of extortion: It’s shaping up to be one strange primary election cycle for Ohio House Republicans."

both voted in favor of certain issues when both served in the Senate. This would have to be before 2008 - a decade ago.

I have hopes for the new state chair, David Pepper to pull forward engaging & talented people to run against dispirited damaged republicans in the suburban rings of the big & large cities.
