Welcome Steve Driehaus to the race for OH-01: Republican Rep. Steve Chabot survived a serious Democratic challenge in the tough political environment of 2006, but it appears he will not get a break from tough competition in the next round. Democratic state Rep.

Oh to be in the U.K.: Tony Blair has indicated that Gordon Brown is likely to replace him as Prime Minister within a matter of weeks. “Within the next few weeks I won’t be Prime Minister of this country. In all probability, a Scot will become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,” Mr Blair told […]
