Jean Schmidt and Tom Noe -- made for each other

Jean Schmidt really took everyone for suckers when she proclaimed she didn't know the notorious Tom Noe. Oops. Seems connections between Schmidt and Noe are really not all that rare after all. Atrios points us to another one via E&P. It really does seem Noe had some type of dealing with everyone in the Ohio Republican Party. And for Schmidt, I guess it's easy to think you can snow the media when you hire a consultant who masqueraded as a political reporter.

Ohio really is a GOP cesspool. Paul Hackett has to be the start of the change out there.
