Mike DeWine is trying in this election to portray himself as independent from George Bush and his low thirties approval rating. Kind of funny place to be for a guy that Bush raised $1.1 million dollars for at a February fundraiser in Cincinnati. In fact, DeWine also reaped in an as yet unknown amount of money from a DC based fundraiser attended by Dick Cheney. That means roughly half of the money DeWine raised in the just closed first quarter came from DeWine's White House sponsors.
It should also be noted, that after these fundraisers, DeWine started pushing his long languishing bill that is sitting in the Judiciary Committee to give the administration expanded powers in their illegal wiretapping program. Make no mistake, a vote for Mike DeWine equals a vote for George Bush and his ever greater attempt to consolidate power in the executive branch.
Who knows, if Bush raises DeWine some more money, he might vote to make Bush king.
