Awful Announcing was on the ground in Columbus this past weekend, asking Ohio State & Texas fans which Saturday college football pregame show they prefer: ESPN's College GameDay or Fox's Big Noon Kickoff.

Former Congressman Tim Ryan said he’d decide on a gubernatorial run by the end of September. In related news, Ryan is headlining a Stark County Democratic fundraiser on Sept. 24. Makes you think, that’s for sure.

Ohio State’s independent investigation found that E. Gordon Gee chose the institution’s public image over swift action against Dr. Richard Strauss’ sexual abuse. The final report mentions Gee 33 times. So why did Ohio State just rehire him? www.rooster.info/p/gordon-gee...

I told @morganhughes.bsky.social that we had Ramaswamy on the hook for something big and I needed a generic coach-passing piece of clothing that didn’t bear the Ohio State logo and he said, “I have just the thing.” Really brought it home.

He's not a lawyer so he can't run for AG. Anything else would be a massive pay cut with none of the prestige that comes with being governor. Chances: Roughly zero.

Russo would be near the top, if not at the top, for LG on Tim Ryan’s gubernatorial ticket, if he runs. But Russo doesn’t want to remain on the sidelines with Ryan’s decision to come by the end of September. Newcomer Bryan Hambley has been making waves with his SoS campaign.

I have no issue with Brown endorsing Acton. I have an issue with him trying to put his thumb on the scale for her in an institutional manner. His last three picks were trash, and that’s not an insult to Acton when I say that. I want an open and honest primary.
The Rooster (@rooster.info)
There will be a forthcoming article when Ryan enters. But basically Sherrod wants everyone to kiss his ass and promotes those that do. Ryan hasn’t. And that’s really what it’s about, in my eyes.
The Rooster (@rooster.info)
Sherrod Brown is “making calls” for Dr. Amy Acton despite ghosting her after his November loss to Bernie Moreno, according to sources. Brown is seen as trying to put the fix in for Dr. Acton with party sachems ahead of Tim Ryan’s expected entrance into the race.

And so it begins re: Councilman Jones. The Cuyahoga County Democratic Party is moving to (almost assuredly) strip Jones of their endorsement. Could open a lane for State Rep. @juanita_brent to become the party’s standard-bearer in the Ward 1 race.

The Rooster (@rooster.info) reply parent
You are 100% correct, and I was a Bernie voter, but in retrospect having people like Turner, Briana Gray Joy and Shaun King in the inner circle should have told me it wasn’t a serious campaign, a lesson I didn’t learn until he refused to knife Biden in their singular one-on-one debate.

Politics is about timing. The people won’t be ready by 2026. But 2034? Well, it’s an interesting thought.
The Rooster (@rooster.info)
You are striking at the heart of the problem. The list of candidates who can raise the money required and stand a chance of winning are basically Brown, Ryan and Dr. Acton. None of the big city mayors have the stones to even attempt a statewide run. So it gets grim, quick.
The Rooster (@rooster.info)
It would be a rather annoying primary, but I think the debate would serve the party at large well. If Dr. Acton can't beat Ryan, then she wouldn't have beaten the notorious conman. And the same could be said about Ryan, too.

Tim Ryan alludes to a possible gubernatorial run while enjoying a dunk on the notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy's infamous cowboy outfit. Multiple sources indicate that State Rep. Allison Russo (D-Upper Arlington) would be a top contender for that Lieutenant Governor slot.

This includes video from this week's CCS Board meeting, in which the treasurer and transportation executive detail what that means for their district: $31 million a year in transportation fines and mitigation efforts. Plus, there's no deadline for charters/privates to file complaints against them.
