I wrote about Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann's sex-and-sexual harassment scandal today on the main site. Now Gov. Ted Strickland, a fellow Democrat elected in 2006, has joined those calling for Dann's resignation. Strickland and other top Democratic leaders sent a letter to this effect to the Cleveland Plain Dealer last night: "We also want to make you aware that if you do not choose to resign, Democratic members of the Ohio House of Representatives will immediately introduce a resolution seeking your impeachment." Strickland is taking this position even though a special election will be called if Dann leaves office before Sept. 24. Good for him. It's also clear that leading Democrats want to put some distance between themselves and Dann before this endangers their party's Buckeye State ascendance.
