I remember, over a decade ago now, listening occasionally to a Friday night show on 570 WKBN out of Youngstown. WKBN was Rush's flagship station in northeast Ohio back then, and Rush was just about the only talk show host who was widely syndicated on a national basis, so the rest of the time, local hosts filled the 21-hour gap.
Anyway, on Friday nights, Marc Dann would host a show with his law partner, Dave Betris, where they would answer legal questions that callers would pose. Seemingly, anyone who was able to find an open line and call in was permitted to get on the air, which made for entertaining radio at times and snooze button occasions otherwise, about a 60%-40% mix respectively.
I knew Marc Dann had left Betris' firm (which, I believe, is known today as Betris, Maruka, Kopp and Harshman, LLC), but I had no idea that Dann had been elected Ohio Attorney General in the election of 2006. Even more importantly, Rich Galen shows in today's column how portentous this event may turn out to be.
Read it all here. It is indeed quite juicy and should truly give Ohio Republicans cause for at least a covert smile; they have had precious little reason to do so for the last few years, thanks to former Governor Bob Taft.
On a completely unrelated note, I am headed to Indy with friends Jed Hutchison and Danny Bryant to observe a Barack Obama rally this evening, probably the final one of a very full campaign day for him. The primary is rumored to be too close to call tomorrow, so I'm guessing we'll watch a piece of history in the making, one way or the other. Details to follow.
