Arrogance? You betcha!

 ****  Jon Husted, Republican candidate for Ohio Secretary of State and a resident of Upper Arlington but a member of the Ohio State Senate for Ohio's 6th district, has raised a ton of money from the usual contributors.

Dispatch:
....Husted’s August money includes $75,000 from the Summit County Republican Party, $61,177 in in-kind funds from the Ohio Republican Party, $22,790 from Akron industrialist and major charter school operator David Brennan and his wife, a maximum $11,395 contribution from nursing home operator Brian Colleran, and $11,000 from FirstEnergy’s political action committee....

Here is a video from Progress Ohio on Husted testifying about his residence and part of the Montgomery Co. Board of Elections hearing on his residency:

 ***   Republican leader, John Boehner, is so cocksure of his ability to take back the House of Representatives that he has made some promises.

Blatherwatch:
 He's telling listeners he'll do election night radio from "... the portico of the Speaker of the House’s office in the U.S. Capitol. I’ve been invited there by the new Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and I’ll be the only radio talk show host in the speaker’s office, doing my show from the portico overlooking the Washington Monument,” Cunningham said. “And I’m going to do it.”



That could be a problem because if Boehner would assume control of the House, that would not happen until January 2011.
