Tim Grendell, The Republican Kucinich

In 2003 when Cleveland Congressman Dennis Kucinich announced his candidacy for President, Tim Grendell probably rolled his eyes. Like most folks, Grendell likely thought it was quite silly for a 4-term Congressman to run for President. Grendell probably never thought that in 2 years, he'd become the Republican Kucinich.

In May 2005, Grendell, an Ohio State Senator for all of 4 months at the time, announced his candidacy for Attorney General. The News-Herald, a frequent supporter of Grendell, remarked that is was "far too early" for Grendell to be seeking a higher office. With two former Republican Attorney Generals running for Governor, Grendell hoped he could slide in and win the Republican nomination for Attorney General.

Unfortunately for Grendell, one of the former AG's has since been persuaded to drop out of the Governor's race and run again for Attorney General. With this adept political move, the Taft Establishment has reasserted its dominance over the Ohio Republican Party. Grendell, now trailing badly in fundraising and name recognition, doesn't stand a chance in the May primary.

Will Grendell continue to emulate Kucinich, running in a race he has no hope of winning?

We can only roll our eyes and wait for Tim to come back to reality.

If Grendell has no hope of winning as you say then why did he win 292 to 158 over Montgomery for the Miami County Endorsement on 2/26/06???

Sounds like there may be hope against the dark forces of the Taft establishment after all.
