    As Gov.-elect @AmyActonOH begins the daunting task of finding enough Democrats (and Republicans?) to fill out her administration, here's more on where she's likely to look and who she's leaning on to help her

    Will believe the chatter about a House GOP caucus revolt against Huffman when I hear a name of who's actually running against him for speaker

    Wrote about Matt Huffman's Speakership being on tilt mode this morning. Hours later, this email from a "Contra Huffman" email arrived in the inbox of every Ohio House Republican.

    RT @kkondik: Following Paul LePage's (R) victory in ME-2 (Trump +9.1 points), that district appears set to go from the reddest district held by any D (Jared Golden), to the BLUEST seat held by any R. Crazy and illustrative of the wipeout calculated thanks to @downballotnews data

    Liston tells me she hasn't been contacted about an Acton administration job and isn't interested in leaving the Senate. Worth noting DeMora and Liston are each vying for Senate minority leader next session.

    Is Beth Liston adding Director to her Professor-Doctor-Senator credentials?

    Scott Colom purchased The Power Broker in 2008, kept it on the shelf for seven years and then took six months to finish it. Extremely relatable.

    Hearing a lot of rumors rhe past couple days about Democrats (and at least one Republican!) being in line for various Acton administration jobs. So far, zero of the rumors have been true.

    .@AnnaStaver has the latest on the prospect that GOP lawmakers will move in lame duck to strip some power away from Democrat Gov.-elect Amy Acton -- including the specific bill being eyed as the vehicle to make the changes

    RT @jake_zuckerman: House Finance Chairman Brian Stewart (R) just made a pretty similar prediction at a panel event. In other words, interest in phone-based casino style gambling in Ohio is bicameral and bipartisan, to at least some extent

    Interesting prediction from Ohio state Sen. Bill DeMora (D-Columbus): "Next year, I think, expansion of gambling, one way or another, is going to happen."

    Gov. @MikeDeWine, when asked what he thinks about Jon Husted's ass. "Well, you know, when I look at Jon, that's not where I look." DeWine added, "I will say this - I was with him with him the other night, and he's got plenty of muscles here. I'm talking about..." (taps biceps)

    Gov. @MikeDeWine says he hasn't spoken with GOP legislative leaders about restricting Gov.-elect @AmyActonOH's powers. But, he said, "I don't think any governor is going to approve anything, whether Democrat or Republican, that would dramatically change the powers of a governor"

    DeWine was asked whether Ramaswamy's controversial ad w/ Acton's mom helped sink other GOP candidates this year. DeWine initially declined comment but then said there was a "mighty wind blowing" in Dems' favor. "When the wind is blowing that hard, many times it doesn't matter."

    Acton & Brown won Mahoning and Delaware counties, flagged before the election as yardsticks. Wood County remains Ohio's premier bellwether - its vote again mirrored statewide results. But 3 other counties broke decades-long streaks of siding with winners

    RT @karenkasler: All 21 local data center related issues on yesterday's ballot in Ohio went against data centers. Ashville residents went to the Ohio Supreme Court to get this vote, and said this "represents a victory for our community’s future and for our right to self-determination."

    With 100% of precincts reporting, Democrat @JohnKulewicz finishes 28,407 votes ahead of Republican @KeithFaber in the AG's race. That leaves Auditor-elect @FrankLaRose as the lone statewide Republican to win last night.
