After all the good news, we now must turn our eyes to the continuing goof-ups of the Ohio Republican Party. Three members of the Butler County Republican Executive Committee have been charged because of there behavior in a bar. Here is an excerpt: Central Committee Chairman Quentin Nichols of West Chester Township, Executive Committee member Sean Maloney of Liberty Township, and Central Committee member Timothy Dearwester of Liberty Township allegedly assaulted a bartender at Putter’s Tavern & Grill at 6575 Cincinnati-Dayton Road about 12:15 a.m. Oct. 26, according to a complaint a bartender filed with the sheriff’s office.
