Earlier today (or yesterday), Michael Coleman officially announced his run for the governor in the 2006 election. His biggest opponents are currently Auditor Betty Montgomery and Attorney General Jim Petro (who flip-flopped their positions in 2002) who has the largest and second largest funds to campaign for governor, respectively.
Coleman's biggest obstacles according to critics include lack of knowledge of his acheivements outside of Columbus, and too much emphasis on creating buildings in Columbus rather that creating jobs and strengthening the local economy (or to paraphrase a previous poster, spends too much time looking pretty).

I'm not really sure what to say about this. I mean, ok. Do people in Cleveland (or the rest of the state) even know who this man is??? I'm interested in seeing how this turns out.
Is that a logical/usual/normal transition? From Mayor to Governor?
