Sen. George Voinovich of Ohio either had a moment of clairvoyance this afternoon or just enjoys opening up a North/South civil war in his suggestion of who is to blame for the current failure of the Republican Party. Via The Hill's Briefing Room...
"We got too many Jim DeMints and Tom Coburns," Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio) told the Columbus Dispatch. "It's the southerners."
Voinovich, a native Clevelander who retires after the 2010 election, continued after the southern elements of the GOP.
"They get on TV and go 'errrr, errrrr,'" he said. "People hear them and say, 'These people, they're southerners. The party's being taken over by southerners. What they hell they got to do with Ohio?'"
