Portman launches RV Tour
Republican Rob Portman is all packed up and ready to hit southeastern Ohio later this week in an RV. He’ll be decrying the results of the stimulus bill and the state’s high unemployment rate as he makes his case for replacing Sen. George Voinovich in the U.S. Senate.
He’ll be at the Fayette County Fairgrounds on Thursday, July 30, at 10 a.m. before heaving to Circleville, where he’ll be at J.R. Hooks Cafe at noon. Then it’s over to Caldwell and West Lafayette on Friday.
It’s his first RV tour of what is expected to be many in this campaign. Portman faces Republican Tom Ganley of northeast Ohio in the Republican primary in May 2010, and will face either Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner or Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, both Democrats, next fall.

It’s my understanding that Ganley is nothing more than a know-it-all, car-dealing kazillionaire from Cleveland who has said he will buy the primary with his personal funds if that’s what it takes. Not exactly someone I want to see in the U.S. Senate. Think I’ll vote for Portman. He seems honest and straight-forward. From all I’ve read, he’s got a great reputation for being bi-partisan…just the kind of person we need these days in Washington.
