Portman eyes statewide office

Cincinnati Republican Rob Portman on Thursday, Sept. 4, heaped praise on John McCain’s vice presidential pick, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, saying she has electrified delegates in Ohio and elsewhere.

“I think she will wear very well. She’s smart. She’s kind of everybody’s next door neighbor,” said Portman, a former congressman who had been on McCain’s short list for VP.

Portman, who served as U.S. trade representative and White House budget director, said he hasn’t decided whether he’ll run for governor in 2010 against Democrat Ted Strickland. And he added that if U.S. Sen. George Voinovich changes his mind and decides not to run for re-election, Portman would consider a run for Senate.
