Well, what can we say. Vet, vet, vet! This is a failure of the vetting process from the FitzGerald campaign, plain and simple. I'm just glad this was caught so early. If Kearney's problems came out in mid-September, they're dead. On paper he was a good pick, but first glances rarely tell the full story.

I would have to think they could find another good choice in the southern half of the state. Former Cincinnati mayor and former state senator Mark Mallory? I know he got some egg on his face with the streetcar issue, but he used to be wildly popular with Cincinnati Democrats.

Good points. I'm pretty sure Alicia Reece is in the Ohio House rather than the Senate. BlueEye Dec 2013 #3

You're correct re Alicia Reece= state Rep. Thanks for the heads up. No Vested Interest Dec 2013 #4

The one time I heard Denise speak, she was attacking JobsOhio as a boondoggle. BlueEye Dec 2013 #5
