Boehner: Dem fight good for McCain
U.S. Rep. John Boehner, R-West Chester, said the continuing fight for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination is good for Republican John McCain.
“The longer they fight … that’s fine with me,” the House minority leader told a crowd at the Butler County Lincoln Day dinner on Friday night. Boehner (right) said the damage that U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama are doing to each other is “serious.” “McCain is in a solid position to win this year’s election,” Boehner said.

Ohio Democrats Dump Dann
The Ohio Democratic Party doesn’t want anything to do with Marc Dann (pictured), the embattled Ohio attorney general who was elected in 2006 with the party’s endorsement.
The party made that official on Saturday, May 10, as the executive committee, by a voice vote, adopted a resolution that says “the Ohio Democratic Party no longer recognizes Marc Dann as an endorsed Democratic Statewide officeholder.”
The resolution also kicked Dann off the executive committee and called on him to resign as attorney general.
Dann got some support from the Youngstown area, where he lives. Dorothy McLaughlin, an 85-year-old retired sheriff’s deputy from Struthers, a Youngstown suburb, shouted out the only “no” when a voice vote on the resolution was taken.
The vote came a day after Ohio House Speaker Jon Husted, R-Kettering, and Senate President Bill Harris, R-Ashland, announced that next week the legislature will authorize Inspector General Tom Charles to launch an independent investigation of the scandals that have rocked the attorney general’s office.
