He's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK....

Kostoff breaks the surface again...

Pete Kostoff, former Summit County GOP loyalist, present-day Democrat supporter, Roetzel & Andress partner and Jim Petro backer has again come to the forefront of the movement to take over the Summit County Republican Party. He was initially reputed to be part of the movement, but disavowed any involvement.

Some months ago a defamatory web site known to those in Summit County as "the pink site" surfaced containing all manner of lies. Summit County insiders wondered who was behind it. While many thought it was Kevin Coughlin, others wondered. Recently, Pete Kostoff was asked whether he was behind the slanderous pink site. His alleged response? "Kinda sorta."

Clearly, it seems that Kostoff is pulling the strings of Kevin Coughlin's Pinocchio. It appears that the folks at R&A want to consolidate both political parties under their control - R&A partner Wayne Jones is the Summit County Democrat Party's finance chair and favored candidate for its chairman in 2008. Now Kostoff wants to pull the strings on the SCRP. How cozy...
