Secretary of State elections will be in focus in 2010.  We mentioned the Ohio race yesterday, and will be touching on others in the months ahead.  There are over 2 dozen elected Secretaries of State offices up for election in 2010.  The left has at least two big time efforts already underway to try and buy these undervalued, and often looked over offices.  The RSLC is fighting back – join us!
