And so it begins….

The first round of major newspaper endorsements are out.

Yesterday, the Columbus Dispatch endorsed Rob Portman for Senate.

Also, the Cincinnati Enquirer made their recommendations (not endorsements – those come later) for early voters.

They recommended John Kasich for Governor, Rob Portman for Senate, Steve Chabot for Congress, and Jon Husted for Secretary of State. Not surprisingly, they chose hometown boy David Pepper over Dave Yost.

The strange choice of the day? Kevin Boyce for Treasurer. Really?
