So let us get this straight – the leader of the Ohio Democrat Party, Governor Ted “Rev” Strickland, chooses Marc Dann’s replacement w/out knowing every niggling detail about her background? Strickland admitted that he didn’t know everything about his appointee – sounds like what happened with Marc Dann – they had no idea he was uniquely unqualified for the post.

Now before you get your britches in a bunch, we’re not saying Mrs. Rogers is anything but qualified (you can make that determination for yourself). No, this is more about the type of hands off leadership Ohio Democrats take time and again. Come Governor, are you telling the people of Ohio that in vetting the person who would be the new CLEAN face of the Ohio A.G.s office you didn’t come across her party persuasion? Wasn’t this woman appointed to a 10 year board position by President Bill Clinton in 1993? You know the Democrat from Arkansas? It’s in her official bio Rev. Ohio bloggers have been on the story all day, and likely will continue to dig up more juicy bits and tids in the coming days. Nancy Hardin Rogers – future dream team member:

Democratic Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland on Wednesday tapped the dean of the Ohio State University law school to serve temporarily as attorney general after a sexual harassment scandal forced out the previous attorney general.

Strickland says Nancy Hardin Rogers will lead the office for about six months but that she has no plans to run in the November election.

Strickland’s announcement means he must still select a candidate to run for the remaining two years left in the term of former Democratic Attorney General Marc Dann.

Dann resigned earlier this month after leading an office that was rocked by sexual harassment complaints, marks of unprofessionalism and his own affair with a subordinate. The resignation has given Republicans an opening for the statewide seat.
