COLUMBUS — A fractured party. Tales of sharp-elbowed politics spilling into the news. A prolonged public spectacle pitting prominent Republicans against each other.
The timing is especially inopportune: The struggle for control of the state party, which has consumed top Republicans in Ohio for more than a year, has experts and operatives fretting about the possible reverberations in Tuesday’s competitive presidential primary — and in November.
Ohio, it seems, isn’t just Super Tuesday’s biggest prize. It’s also the scene of an unseemly intra-party brawl that has drawn in high-ranking elected officials, lobbyists and operatives throughout the state.
