From the Columbus Dispatch:
A high-stakes Democratic showdown is in the offing for 2010 after yesterday’s announcements by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher that they will seek the party’s nomination to succeed retiring Republican U.S. Sen. George V. Voinovich.
If both candidates stay in the race, Gov. Ted Strickland will be forced to find a new running mate next year and Brunner’s seat on the crucial State Apportionment Board will be left undefended by an incumbent.
