Meet Jon Husted: The Eternal Candidate

The Dayton Daily News seems to have caught everyone's favorite Republican state rep between a rock and a hard place. You see, Speaker of the House Jon Husted is running for a state senate seat even though it's widely expected that he'll run for Secretary of State in 2010.

Of course no one really enjoys being stepped on by someone out to climb the ranks, so Husted has been pretending to care about the Dayton area senate district he's running for. The truth came out however, when Husted refused to commit to staying the full senate term if elected.

In St. Paul last week during the Republican National Convention, Ohio Republican Party Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine told a crowd of delegates that he looks forward to working along side his friend, Jon Husted, when Husted runs for Ohio Secretary of State in 2010.

Husted, R-Kettering, is now House Speaker and a candidate for a four year term in the Ohio Senate. Despite the open talk of him running for secretary of state, Husted is mum on it and declined to say whether he’s committed to serving his entire term if elected to the Senate.

And of course we all know that Husted has been using his position in the House to try and sabotage Jennifer Brunner's efforts to have a smooth election. Just imagine what this scum could do with a Senate seat.
