Brunner admits to engaging in partisan politics

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner admitted to engaging in partisan politics this week, declaring the letter sent to Marc Dann by Ohio Democratic Party leaders (and signed by her) "a political statement."

Brunner said the letter sent a political statement from Democratic leaders, “and I do feel that overall what’s occurred makes it difficult for him to be effective as attorney general and to be effective politically.”  (Youngstown Vindicator)

A political statement?  We thought Jennifer Brunner vowed to avoid partisanship and political statements as Ohio's chief elections officer.  At least that's what she promised:

"If you're going to umpire the game, you can't wear a jersey of one of the teams." (Salon.com)

It's certainly not the first time Jennifer Brunner has been caught wearing her blue Democrat jersey.
