Pomerene Seen as Likely Nominee in Senate Caucus
Canton's Atlee Pomerene appears set for the Democratic nomination in a state Senate caucus vote at Columbus today. Hanley and dark-horse factions lack cohesive support, with Hanley limited to about eighteen votes and no bloc strong enough to derail Pomerene's bid. The caucus proceeds at 2 pm with roll call, governors’ aides, and gallery access limited to reporters, as Pomerene seeks a first-ballot win backed by supporters including Rep Evans and Col Kilbourne.
