CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The race for governor won't be decided for another
36 days.
But Ohio
Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern is now publicly voicing his frustration
with his nominee, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald.
In story posted Sunday night, the New York Times was the
latest national news organization to weigh in on the collapse of FitzGerald's campaign.
The piece traced
the former FBI agent's troubles to the 2012 incident, unearthed last month by the Northeast Ohio Media Group, in
which police found FitzGerald parked after hours with a woman who wasn't his
wife. That revelation led to the discovery that FitzGerald hadn't had a driver's license for a decade.
"I've never
met a former FBI agent who doesn't have a driver's license," Redfern told
the Times' Trip Gabriel, who described the exchange as a figurative finger
pointed at FitzGerald. "It's akin to saying, 'Damn, I should have my
umbrella' after it rains."
Redfern went on
to blast the outside firm that the campaign hired to probe FitzGerald's past,
saying he wouldn't hire the company "to clean out my bird cage."
FitzGerald, also
the former mayor of Lakewood, faces Republican incumbent John Kasich this fall.
Polls show him trailing the governor by double digits.
