The Plain Dull is reporting that former State Senator Boob Spada much prefers to be handed a job than work for it. Rev. Ted offered Boob a job with the state and now Boob can't run away from his race for Tom Patton's old House seat fast enough. And down Cincy way another GOP'er is jumping ship to worship at Rev. Ted's Temple of Holy Patronage...

How many Democrats does it take to get House Republicans to drop out of
swing districts? Just one -- as long as his name is Ted Strickland.
In a move that scrambles Republican plans to hold the Ohio House, a pair of GOP
lawmakers appear on their way to ending their election campaigns and landing
government posts offered by the Democratic governor.
Republican State Rep. Jim Raussen confirmed that he will leave his Hamilton County seat to take a newly created position as director of the Insurance and Financial Services department within the state development department. An official announcement of the position paying $115,000 annually is expected to come shortly.
Meanwhile, Republican sources are saying that state Sen. Bob Spada, a North Royalton Republican, will end his bid for the 18th District House seat to take a seat on the state employment relations board.

So how does a Republican get a patronage job? Well he of course he goes to the Democrats. This shows how weak the GOP has become not only on the local level, but also on the state level. When you have unprincipled candidates who will sell out to the highest bidder rather than fight for a seat this is what you get. Great candidate recruitment! Kiss the State House goodbye RINO's! Hold on tight kids, it's gonna be a bumpy November.
