Peter Lawson Jones: Things That Make You Say "Huh?"

View the original

Yesterday we heard that two statewide heavyweights, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner and Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher are going to duke it out, ready to go mano e mano for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by George Voinovich (also known as John Glenn's old seat). 

Now today, as reported over at Ohio Daily Blog, Cuyahoga County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones says he's forming an exploratory committee to run for the Senate as well.

I'm filing this under things that make you say "Huh?"

What in the world makes PLJ think he can be a viable candidate? Not only is he a Cuyahoga County public official, he sits on the frigging board of commissioners with Jimmy Dimora! The only way he can be a viable candidate is if he publicly calls for Dimora's resignation, or leads a recall effort against Dimora.
