Mandel continues GOP treasurer push @Hamilton County GOP Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner


From Cincinnati.com:

Hamilton County Republicans, at their annual Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner Friday night, got an early look at some of the candidates likely to be on their party’s statewide ticket in 2010 – a year when they hope they can rebound from huge defeats in two straight statewide election cycles.

Some of the candidates who are likely to be on that slate were familiar to the nearly 300 Hamilton County Republicans gathered in a upstairs ballroom of the Duke Energy Center Friday night. They included former 2nd District congressman Rob Portman, who is the only announced candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being given up next year by Cleveland Republican George Voinovich.

Others were from other parts of the state and are still largely unknown to Republicans here, like Josh Mandel, a state representative from northeast Ohio and a Marine Corps veteran if Iraq. He plans to take on Ohio Treasurer Kevin Boyce, a Columbus Democrat who was appointed to the job in December.

Speaker after speaker at Friday night’s dinner, though, predicted a comeback for the GOP in 2010.

Sounds like a grand old party was had by all.
