Breaking News!!

On February 26, 2006 the Miami County Ohio Republican Party hosted the Miami County Convention. For the first time, all four candidates for the Republican Senatorial Primary were in attendance at a GOP County Nomination Event. The preliminary numbers are as follows: John Mitchel 13 votes, Bill Pierce 78 votes, David Smith 118 votes, Mike DeWine 228 votes.

Most significant about these results are that DeWine only received slightly better than 50% of the vote. It is clear that if the field of challengers against DeWine is narrowed to only a single candidate, DeWine could face a serious challenge in the May Primary.

In the BattleGround Weekly Commentary posted earlier this evening we called for the three challengers to meet and unite behind a single candidate to give Conservatives a chance for victory in May. Based on these results, this is more important than ever.

Please be sure to check out our Weekly Commentary and also sign our petition urging County GOP officials to keep an open mind on their endorsement for the Senatorial Primary.
