Things are happening fast in Ohio.  The only thing that hasn't happened is the actual resignation of the embattled Attorney General, Marc Dann [1]: 

Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann clung to his job Tuesday after spending most of the day trying to cut a deal to resign. 

Facing intense pressure to step down, the 46-year-old Democrat offered to quit if Republican Senate President Bill Harris agreed to delay an independent investigation of Dann's office by Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles. But Harris rejected the offer.

Dann kept his tenuous hold on the job Tuesday as fallout from a sexual harassment scandal enveloping his office continued.

His fellow Democrats brought unprecedented articles of impeachment, while House and Senate Republicans gave fast-track approval to a bill allowing Charles to investigate the attorney general.

Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland signed the bill into law Tuesday evening.
