Republican Mike DeWine is focused on being the Attorney General of Ohio.
From the Columbus Dispatch:
There will be no rematch between Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Mike DeWine for the U.S. Senate in 2012.
DeWine, who was elected Nov. 2 to a four term as Ohio attorney general, called to make that crystal clear.
“I am planning on being attorney general. I am not running for U.S. Senate.”
DeWine was in the Senate for 12 years until Brown defeated him in 2006. Talk about a rematch was spawned this week by a survey conducted by Public Policy Polling which showed DeWine and Brown tied in a hypothetical rematch, each with 43 percent. This afternoon, PPP released a survey showing that DeWine would be the first choice among Ohio Republicans to take on Brown in 2012.
