It’s on! The letter:
Dear Attorney General Dann, We write to you tonight to ask that you resign your position as Attorney General of the State of Ohio.
We believe that your actions have irreparably harmed your ability to effectively serve the people of our great state. The work of the Office of the Attorney General matters more, and is far more important, than any one person. In many, many cases it is all that stands between the people and the powerful.
Sadly, we no longer have even the most remote hope that you can continue to effectively [...]
Full Story... →Add the Dispatch to the chorus of boos:
Ohio’s attorney general must be able to provide leadership, command respect and exercise strong judgment. Marc Dann has failed miserably in all three and is not fit to serve.
This situation is a debacle for Dann and a tragedy for the state. He took over the office with high hopes, energy and a desire to run an effective office. That promise has been destroyed, and Dann has no one but himself to blame.
Dann betrayed the trust the voters placed in him, and that will dog the attorney general’s office for as [...]
Full Story... →Pulling this comment from this post because you need to read it. Like many have said there were problems all along and not just with frat-house type activity. Friend of AAG says:
I have many friends in the AG’s office, and here’s what I hear. This comes from Democrats who joined the office last year, from Democrats who were there from Lee Fisher and TOny Celebrezze, from Republicans, and from totally apolitical staff:
Yes, he should resign, and yes, the scandals are the biggest news, but the office has been a mess since day one. The press never [...]
Full Story... →Not that everyone else hasn’t thought of this, but here it all is. This is why Dann must go and go quickly:
The worst thing that could happen to the Ohio Republican Party right now might be for Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann, a Youngstown Democrat hip-deep in a sex scandal, to take the GOP’s advice and resign.
Better to let things stew for a bit.
Stew through this fall’s campaign – with a presidential contest in Ohio that might decide who spends the next four years in the White House and with Democrats eyeing a chance to take [...]

Update 3 5/13/08 2:30pm: Breaking: Marc Dann to Resign
Update 2 5/5/08 12:00pm: Dems will Impeach if Dann Doesn’t Step Down
Update 5/5/08 11:30am: All Statewide Dems Call on Dann to Resign
Full Story... →Don’t think this can’t or won’t go national. Don’t think it won’t affect other races higher up. Don’t think for a second this is over.
Update: Carr Smyth’s AP report was also picked up by Huffington Post.
Full Story... →Today, Dann admitted that his affair with Utovich may have lead to the culture in which Goose thought it was appropriate to solilcit sex from his female subordinates. Two days ago, he told the chief investigator, and his employee, not to go there. And he did so, on the record, while he was being questioned on this matter.
Full Story... →Sources tell me that Marc Dann will step down as Attorney General in August in order to allow Ted Strickland to appoint a successor. The delay is in order to have Dann in office for the time period necessary to trigger an appointment, else there would be a special election. Per Article 3, Section 18 of the Ohio Constitution. I’m not sure I read this section right, so I might have this wrong. I do hear for sure that Dann is done. Timing is all that’s in question at this point. Getting this straight from sources in the Governor’s [...]
Full Story... →Last November I went down to Columbus to meet some friends at Brazenhead. We ate. Had a few beers. Talked politics and life. Good times. Afterward, a buddy and I decided to hang out a bit more and shot over to Hi Beck for some pool and another beer or two. Again, good times.
This is about the time that rumors were all around Columbus about Marc Dann and his scheduler Jessica Utovich. I was hearing stuff, but not paying too much attention to it all. On our way out we see someone we knew who worked for the [...]
Full Story... →Everyone knew it was coming. Today is the day.
Two top employees of Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann were fired and a third has resigned because of an internal investigation of sexual harassment complaints released this morning.
And Dann admitted he had a “romantic relationship” with an employee during a “difficult time” in his marriage.
Tim and ModernEsquire are of course all over it. Jerid even takes time to comment. Ugly. In a word, ugly. But then again it was a ticking time bomb.
Marc Dann was to bring back a sense of trust, [...]
