An interesting take involving Sen Sherrod Brown and his political future...

When it was announced that Senator Sherrod Brown and his wife, Connie Schultz, would be relocating from Avon into the Mill Creek residential community located in southeast Cleveland, some local pundits speculated that there was a political motivation behind the move.

The early speculation among the chattering class was that Brown had his eyes on running for mayor of Cleveland in 2017, when incumbent Frank Jackson completes his third term and retires. Of course, that is dependent on Jackson defeating tan-man Ken Lanci in this year’s election, which is a dead certainty. (Speaking of Lanci, perhaps the logical next political step for the silver-haired multi-millionaire would be a run for mayor of East Cleveland. For one thing, in that perpetually embattled town, his current adviser, the inimitable Art McCoy of Black-on-Black Crime, has serious street cred there. Further, a possible showdown between the flashy Lanci, who tools around town in a $400,000 Bentley, and the gender-bending former East Cleveland mayor Eric Brewer would serve to draw significant national attention, salving the massive egos of each and possibly spawning a reality show for this charismatic duo.)
