My uncle was the republican mayor of Marietta for a spell, back in a day when the two parties were not so far apart on some issues (in a local sense). Most the people I knew from that area that would have considered running have all moved to other states now (and the ones that did stay could care less about politics).

If you have a list of places I will mention them on my radio show this Friday (and our the station's twitter/fb/forums). Can't hurt to get the information out there.

And for the folks to do not know there is no U.S. Senate seat up this year in Ohio.
Portman (R) is up for reelection in 2016
Brown (D) is up for reelection in 2018.
