Governor Ted Strickland and Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher have discussed Fisher’s potential exit from the 2010 gubernatorial re-election campaign. According to a source with knowledge of the conversation, Fisher did not ask to leave the ticket. However, he made clear his interest in a 2010 Senate campaign.
If Fisher exits, Strickland would be the eighth Democratic Governor to have multiple Lieutenant Governors. Fisher’s possible replacements include Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Eric Fingerhut, Ohio 9th District Congresswoman Marcia Kaptur, and Ohio Democratic Party Chairman and former State Representative Chris Redfern.
After commencing his career as a State Representative, Fisher served as a State Senator from 1982-1990. From 1991-1995, he served as Ohio’s 44th Attorney General. Since 2007, he has served as Ohio’s 65th Lieutenant Governor.

Hmmm. I wouldnt think Fingerhut would do it / be offered it since he just started his new Chancellor post, but that is just a guess by me.
No matter how it shakes out, I dont think Fisher will be on the ticket in 2010.
