No lawmaker has ever been successfully Impeached in Ohio’s 205 year history, but that could change if Attorney General Marc Dann sticks to his guns and refuses to resign.

He’s accused of running his office like a frat house, where cursing and harassing young female staffers was the norm. He hired a bunch of his buddies from Youngstown when he won the election in ‘06 and the consensus seems to be he and his crew were in over their heads.

Dann roomed with two of his top guys and there were apparently some booze-fueled slumber parties that got a bit out of control. One girl alleges she woke up with her pants down and one of Dann’s aides in his underwear next to her.

This charge led to the discovery Dann (a married father of three) was having an affair with another girl in his office, which he subsequently lied about before admitting some details (not including her name).

I spent the past couple of days in the State House in Columbus, where lawmakers in both parties seem unified in their distaste for Dann’s alleged misdeeds (although the Speaker told me “if we impeached everyone for lying and cheating on their spouses it’d be a long summer”).

Dann, a Democrat, has lost the support of his party. They say they’re stripping him of his affiliation and support and have basically thrown him under the bus. If he won’t quit they say they’ll move to impeach. The only question is whether what he’s accused of is enough to forcefully remove him from the job.

There are rumors the story could get more interesting, but so far Dann hasn’t budged, saying he can still effectively do his job. Lawmakers say otherwise, and the showdown looms.
