40 on the list. From the Plain Dealer Blog:
Strickland said he expects Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, a former attorney general who also serves as Strickland’s development director, to remain in his current posts. He said that Fisher would be difficult to replace as development director but indicated that if Fisher wanted the attorney general’s post it might be his for the asking.
“If Lee were to indicate to me that he would like to be attorney general, I can tell you it would be difficult for me not to enthusiastically appoint him to that,” Strickland said.
Meanwhile, the Ohio Republican Party on Wednesday announced it has formed a screening committee to evaluate potential attorney general candidates for the November election. The party’s 66-member central and executive committee will make the pick.
The 26-member screening committee will be led by GOP Chairman Bob Bennett and includes Cuyahoga County GOP Chairman Rob Frost and former Attorney General Betty Montgomery, whom Dann defeated in November 2006.
