Nothing gets me going like primary source blogging and Daniel Jack Williamson offers some today:
Former Columbus-area Congressman John Kasich gave the keynote speech at the Seneca and Sandusky Counties’ Republican Party Lincoln Day Dinner last night (Feb. 5, 2009) in Tiffin. I was in attendance to hear what he and others had to say. You can check out this related article from the Tiffin Advertiser-Tribune, if you like. Others who spoke from the podium included Dayton-area State Senator and former Ohio House Speaker Jon Husted, Cleveland-area State Representative Josh Mandel, and local Congressman Bob Latta. Local State Senator Karen Gillmor and local State Representatives Jeff Wagner and Terry Boose were also in attendance, but did not speak.
Please visit Daniel’s post for the deets but here’s his scoop on my state rep’s remarks:
Mandel charmed the crowd with some self-deprecating humor about his youthful appearance, while reminding everyone of the dedicated women and men who serve in the armed forces. He held up a pair of shoes with the soles and heels worn out from canvassing neighborhoods during his state rep campaigns, and promised he wouldn’t be outworked by his opponents if he officially undertakes the statewide campaign to become Ohio Treasurer.
The shoes story is a well-worn one that remains emblematic of his ambitious style.

You might also be interested to know that Josh Mandel was the only person to speak who wasn’t listed on the evening’s printed program.
They really, really, really wanted to get him introduced.
Snarky re-wording of your comment: “HE really, really, really wanted to get himself introduced.”
He has allies.
I know – they’ve threatened me more than a few times.
Do tell.
I did tell. But there have been others. That’s just the most flagrant.
