Our Johnny's presidential campaign is costing us big bucks

One can only imagine the outrage if the governor with presidential ambition was a Democrat. Every local tee-vee "investigative team" reporter would be screeching nightly at taxpayers' money being wasted. But since it's their Johnny, they forget to cover the story.

Pretty much the rest of the nation would like the mailman's son to toddle back to Ohio to continue his efforts to screw up the state for the foreseeable future, but local Ohio media types keep spinning that Johnny will be the go-to guy in a contested convention.

Here's the story:
