This is a follow-up to this story from a few days ago. Gary Lankford was the guy who was hired as a "social conservative coordinator" for the Ohio Republican Party. He sent out an email about Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland, calling him and his wife gay because the couple is childless.
When this broke the news a few days ago, Lankford hadn't been fired, but it appears that someone
Ohio GOP officials condemned the message last week and said they disciplined Mr. Lankford but did not fire him. Yesterday, party chairman Bob Bennett wrote Mr. Strickland to offer "sincere apologies" for the e-mail's "inappropriate suggestions about your private life."
Mr. Bennett also said he fired Mr. Lankford, a decision he said was delayed by an illness of pneumonia.
