Ohio GOP “welcomes” Ted Kennedy
Since John McCain has all but sewn up the Republican nomination for president, Ohio Republicans have been pretty quiet as the Democratic campaign heats up for the state’s March 4 primary.
Ted Kennedy, however, can get the GOP juices going.
Kennedy was scheduled to be in the state today, Feb. 16, to campaign for Barack Obama and that prompted Kevin DeWine, Ohio deputy Republican chairman, to dust off the dreaded “l” - for liberal - word to do some Obama bashing.
“Ted Kennedy and Barack Obama are ideological soul mates,” DeWine, a state representative from Fairborn, said in a press release. “Their liberal agenda would mean huge tax increases and more government control over the lives of Ohioans.”
Kennedy’s endorsement, said DeWine, helps enhance Obama’s reputation as the most liberal member of the Senate.
Kennedy was scheduled to campaign in Cleveland, Akron and Youngstown.
