[UPDATED] New Development in OH-15?

The new: 

 Wow. Looks like the Republicans may be pulling an Alan Keyes. According to our friends at the DDN, State Rep Don Mottley may be considering a run in the 15th.  Read more for yourself. http://www.daytondailynews.com/o/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/ohiopolitics/entries/2007/10/25/don_mottley_packs_his_bags.html#comments

 I swear, one day I will figure out how to properly insert a link.

The original:

This may not mean a thing (other than the good old, "spend more time with the family"), but this seems to have slipped many people's radar. From Tuesday's Dispatch:

 Former mayor retiring from Nationwide position

Greg Lashutka will retire as Nationwide's senior vice president of corporation relations at the end of the year. Lashutka, 63, was mayor of Columbus from 1992 to 1999.

He joined Nationwide in 2000 and raised Nationwide's profile in Washington, the company said. He also oversaw Nationwide's trial division and worked to increase employees' participation in elections. Jeff Rouch, who currently heads Nationwide's government relations office, will replace Lashutka.

 While he had earlier said he would not run, could his new found spare time change his mind? He's got the ability to raise a serious amount of money.

 I guess time will tell...
