Button, button, Fran’s got the buttons

ST. PAUL — These buttons aren’t for sale on card tables outside the convention center.

They aren’t available online.

You won’t find them at a John McCain rally.

But the “Buckeyes for McCain” buttons are a hot commodity among Ohio delegates.

Fran DeWine handmade the buttons for the 170-member delegation, sewing together buckeyes, ribbons and little golden cords to the McCain button on her 12 hour drive between Cedarville and Minneapolis.

Former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine told delegates on Monday, Sept. 1, that the buckeyes came from trees along their street in Greene County.
