Nothing like name recognition in politics

In politics you can have all the right answers but if the voters don't know your name you don't have a chance. So, if your father is a Hall of Fame football player for the local team and was the southwest Ohio regional head of President Bush's reelection campaign you may have an edge going into a local election. Earlier this year, Michael Munoz was not selected in the NFL draft and decided not to attempt to catch on with a team as a free agent despite several offers. Now just seven months later he has been elected as a Trustee for Hamilton Township where he has lived since July.

This could turn out to be a case of the father following the son as there is growing speculation that Anthony Munoz may challenge Sen. Mike DeWine next year in the Republican primary. Challenging an incumbent senator is usually a losing proposition but DeWine's popularity has taken some hits this year. Could be an interesting race.
