Cincinnati- U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt has been lampooned on "Saturday Night Live" and booed by Democrats on the House floor. Now, the downstate Republican faces a challenger from her own party.

Former U.S. Rep. Bob McEwen, voted out of office in 1992 after 12 years in the House, said Wednesday he will attempt his third comeback in May's GOP primary. He barely lost to Schmidt in a special primary election in June.

Their race is likely to be high-profile on the national stage.

Schmidt triggered an uproar in the House last year when she said "cowards cut and run, Marines never do," in remarks aimed at Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha, who served in Vietnam.
