Mike DeWine to unveil 2010 plans Wednesday in Xenia
Former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine, the Cedarville Republican, will announce his political plans for 2010 at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 22 at the Greene County Courthouse in Xenia, DeWine told the Dayton Daily News on Friday, July 17.
That’s where DeWine, 62, started his political career as Greene County prosecutor.
DeWine is expected to run for Ohio attorney general but he would not confirm that. His wife Fran and other family members will be at the Xenia event, he said.
The Xenia announcement will be followed by announcements at 12:15 p.m. at the Statehouse in Columbus and then at 3 p.m. at Cuyahoga County Republican headquarters in Cleveland, DeWine said.
“I’m energized,” said DeWine, who lost his U.S. Senate seat in 2006 to Democrat Sherrod Brown.
If DeWine runs for AG, he’ll face primary opposition from Delaware County prosecutor David Yost.
Yost this week announced endorsements from 44 county prosecutors - 42 Republicans and two independents.
“The whole reason I’m in the race is justice - to bring the attorney general’s office back to the basics of law and order,” Yost said in a press release. “It’s a true honor to receive the support of so many of my colleagues in the fight for justice.”
In Montgomery County, GOP Chairman Greg Gantt already is on the DeWine bandwagon.
“I think he would be an excellent attorney general,” Gantt said.

I will not vote for him, he’s a liberal! Looks like David Yost is running for the rep seat too. Better find out if he’s a real conservative or a rino too.By Paul

Jeez, I’m a republican, and I don’t want him. Who thinks having this guy is a good idea? You had your chance, did nothing with it, get off the public dole, and get a real job.By Tom

It’s over Mike sorry to say, if Greg Gantt wouldn’t have gotten on your bandwagon you might have had a chance. He only won the Sheriff’s race in 2008, can’t raise any money and has no horses in the stable. It is over with him in charge.By whatever

Senator Brown is a joke. He is not prepared to stand up for any of his beliefs and refuses to respond to any request. If they ever raid his offices they probably will find more illegal substances—again!By J

I’m not a fan of DeWine’s. His time has passed in elective office. Fortunately, people got tired of the whine and voted him out. I will vote for whoever is running against him.By Pete

Just what we do NOT need, another old-school political hack. DeWine should be finished in Ohio! The only way out of the mess we are in is with fresh faces, fresh ideas and fresh talent. I think he will be surprised by the lack of support he gets.By RON

I’ve had enough of DeWine in the Senate. We don’t need Mr. Assault Weapon Ban as an Attorney General. I will vote for whoever opposes him.By Freedomlover

Mr. Dewine is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He has used Christians for years to get their vote, then turned around and betrayed them. He is not a conservative. He’s a liberal with an “R” in front of his name.By ADmobius

Ahhh, Joyce? Sherrod Brown is your United States Senator who defeated former Senator DeWine in 2006. DeWine is now considering running for Ohio Attorney General, not the Senate. That seat isn’t up until 2012.By Joyce

I would vote for anyone running against Brown. He has no interest in listening to his people. I tried to speak to him about the FDA not taking control over tobacco, as it can’t even handle food crisis in this country, and got a really snide and rude reply from Brown. He simply said he was one of the sponsors of the bill, and more or less “Too Bad”, I will do as I want, not the citizens that elected me. Vote DeWine.
