Kevin DeWine: Strickland Lt. Gov. choice “uninspiring”
Ohio Republican Chairman Kevin DeWine doesn’t think much of Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland’s expected choice for his lieutenant governor running mate.
Strickland is expected to name Yvette McGee Brown, a former Columbus judge and currently president of the Center for Child and Family Advocacy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus.
“He’s had nearly a year to make this selection, and the best he could come up with in the face of an unprecedented fiscal emergency is a social worker with no experience in public finance or state government,” DeWine said in an e-mail.
Chris Redfern, Ohio Democratic chairman, was equally critical last week when Republican gubernatorial candidate John Kasich named Auditor Mary Taylor as his running mate. Among other things, Redfern questioned Taylor’s work ethic.

It’s time to get rid of ‘under the radar’ Strickland…he’s done nothing for this state except stump for further gambling. Whatever…all incompetent incumbents must GO!

If she’s on the Board at Fifth Third I can say she knows something about ripping off customers.

I guess I know something about state finances. I voted for the largest tax increase in the state of Ohio history when I was a state representative. But that’s why they call me Kevin DeWhine.
