Joe Hallett at the Columbus Dispatch observed in his blog in late January that only one statewide officeholder is seeking re-election this year -- Gov. Ted Strickland.
Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher is running for the U.S. Senate, running against Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in the primary.
Auditor of State Mary Taylor is John Kasich's running mate for Lieutenant Governor (which in my opinion was a very bad decision on her part -- she would have been highly electable as Auditor and would have much more impact on state government in that office than she ever would as Lieutenant Governor).
Attorney General Richard Cordray replaced Marc Dann in midterm.
Treasurer Kevin Boyce replaced Mr. Cordray when he became Attorney General.
Should make for a very interesting election this fall!
