Bad signs for Jean Schmidt in Ohio
From the EVANS_NOVAK Political Report:
Ohio-2: Rep. Jean Schmidt (R) has injured herself further by claiming endorsements from two members of Congress who did not endorse her candidacy for re-election: Reps. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) and Steve Chabot (R-Ohio).
Even more embarrassing, and less noted, is the fact that Chabot, whose district is adjacent to hers, has not endorsed her, and wholeheartedly. This would be typical of fellow members in a state congressional delegation -- they almost always support their fellow incumbents. But Schmidt faces former Rep. Bob McEwen (R) in the primary. If she fails to be endorsed by local Republican members and receives only the tepid support of Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), it is a very bad sign for her.
