Too much activity from "sources" -- primarily quoted in the latest AP release were the Dispatch and Plain Dealer -- that Marc Dann's days may now be hours. The final straw appears to be the decision by Democrat lawmakers to make good on their threat to impeach Dann for his crimes.
What crimes? Nine counts, says Akron Democrat State Rep Brian Williams in a conversation with AkronNewsNow.com relating the big step. It didn't help that Governor Strickland quickly followed up with comments that he supported the move, even after last week's comments that he wouldn't support impeachment unless they could prove something criminal.
What was happening in the AG's office, and the impact on Democrats just getting used to holding power in Ohio again, is apparently criminal enough and even Dann's decision to bluster on despite just about every former friend he ever had standing on the other side of the street can't withstand the very public humiliation impeachment would bring. The filing alone by Democrats, even without the official push it would need from Republicans at the Statehouse, looks like enough to do the trick and this game of political chicken appears to be over.
