Too much coffee today. I meant the OSBA site supports the proposition that a recall of Dann is NOT possible.

I should have included this in my prior post. The following passage from the Ohio State Bar Association website was cited to me for the proposition that Ohio voters can recall Dann: http://www.ohiobar.org/pub/lycu/index.asp?articleid=331 Suddes's piece assumes that a recall is possible, but doesn't cite authority for that proposition.

He suggests that a recall is possible (something that I thought, too, until another commenter on this site cited better authority for the proposition that, under current Ohio law, we can't do a recall of a statewide elected official). This is at least twice that I've seen in print the notion that a recall of Dann is possible. Can anyone clear this up definitively? I just read the Suddes piece.

They are a nice "one stop shop" for stories on this mess. One line of argument from Dann supporters is that the scandal is just about the affair with his scheduler. Obviously, it's about so much more than that. Another line of argument is that what he did was no worse than what the GOP did while in power. But that's not the right focus. The Democrats were supposed to stand for something much, much better. At least that's what I thought when I voted for Dann. If there were a way for me to make a claim of fraud against Dann, I'd do it. There is apparently no way for me to undo my vote, because there is nothing in Ohio law, I'm told, that provides for a recall election of statewide officials. The only thing that I can do now is to pressure my state legislator (who's a Republican) to impeach him. But the legislature is controlled by Republicans, and it's to their advantage that Dann stay in office, so that they can use him as their poster boy for incompetence. Meanwhile, Dann stays in office. What a crazy world. Thanks for the “Daily Dann” posts. They are a nice “one stop shop” for stories on this mess.
