On April 18, 2009, Republican Prosecutor Dave Yost announced he would seek his party's nomination for attorney general in 2010, saying Ohio needs "a prosecutor, not a politician" in the state's top law enforcement job. Today, he will announce a decision that ensures his party will nominate a politician after all.

According to the Dayton Daily News, Yost will announce his plans to abandon his long campaign for attorney general, and accept a carrot offered by Ohio GOP chair Kevin DeWine - a party-backed run for state auditor. The announcement will come at a 2:30 press conference at the Ohio GOP headquarters in Columbus.

However, some of those threats have become even more powerful, some less powerful, and there are new threats that we are facing.
