After Gov. Ted Strickland chose Yvette McGee Brown as his running mate for the next election, Ohio GOP Chairman, Kevin DeWine, dismissed her as a "social worker with no experience in public finance or state government." I beg your pardon, Mr. DeWine; what do you have against social workers?
A former common pleas judge, Mrs. Brown is along-term attorney who has served as chief legal counsel for two state agencies and runs the multi-million dollar Center for Child and Family Advocacy for Nationwide Children's Hospitals. Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, said of Judge Brown: "Gov. Ted Strickland made an excellent choice with his selection of Yvette McGee Brown as his running mate. She brings an incredible array of expertise and intellect to the ticket and is fully prepared to serve as Governor of our great state if circumstances necessitate it." Mrs Brunner went on to say that Mr. DeWine should apologize for his demeaning remarks
On the other hand, the GOP candidate for governor, Mr Kasich, a former congressman and former Fox News political show host, has had financial experience; he most recently worked for the failed Wall Street giant Lehman Brothers. Hardly the kind of "financial experience" we need in the governor's office.
