This gets better and better. State Rep. Sandra Harwood (D-Niles) has told the Warren Tribune Chronicle that the Ohio House Democratic Caucus held a conference call this afternoon and decided to begin impeachment proceedings tomorrow, and to vote on the articles of impeachment by resolution.
“I don’t know how he can be effective,” Harwood commented to the newspaper about Dann's apparent intent to stay on. “We’ll know more by tonight." What happens tonight -- more behind the scenes efforts to talk Dann out of resisting? “I’m very angry and disappointed he’s given this valley another black eye,” Harwood said. “I’m very angry about this.”
At this rate, he's going to
At this rate, he's going to be tarred, feathered and rode out of the state on a rail by Thursday.

It is time to begin
It is time to begin speculation about Dann's successor. My first thought is that Strickland should pick a respected female judge or former judge. Secretary of State (and former common pleas judge) Jennifer Brunner comes to mind, but appointing her would mean a special election for both AG and her successor as SoS. Since the Secretary of State is an important member of the reapportionment board, I think that appointment is unlikely, even if she would be a terrific appointee.
Subodh Chandra (beat by Dann in the 06 primary) is unlikely, I think, even though this may be a good year for guys with funny names. Attorney and current higher ed czar Eric Fingerhut should also be on the short list.
Other suggestions?
