Mary Taylor for OH Senate ... (The Next Palin?)

Quote
While most establishment Republicans are rallying around the idea of a Rob Portman candidacy to replace the retiring Senator Voinovich, some Ohio conservatives are quietly clamoring for an attractive conservative outside-the-box candidate to emerge. That candidate may just be Ohio Auditor Mary Taylor.

Like Sarah Palin, Taylor is thought of as both a conservative, and as a maverick who stood-up to the Republican "good old boys" machine in Ohio. A CPA by trade, she has also proven she can win in a difficult environment. In fact, she was the only Ohio Republican to win statewide in 2006.


I wonder how she compares to Portman?

She seems to be more fiscally conservative and willing to go against the party if necessary.  Portman is a party Republican

She lacks the DC "taint".

Mary Taylor needs to stay in the auditor's office and run for reelection. Her spot on the apportionment board is to important to be left to chance.

Do you think that she'll actually have any impact on the board if she is in the minority against Strickland, Brunner and the Speaker?

No, but I do think that Brunner's position is vulnerable. She is an incredibly partisan Secretary of State and has clearly used her authority for partisan advantage. In a "normal" election year, the Republicans should be able to take her out.
