Questions raised about his personal life. In 2004, he had faced incumbent John Dowlin in the March primary for the Republican nomination to be county commissioner. Dowlin had ran ads calling attention to DeWine leaving his pregnant wife and their two children for a mistress working as a Republican lobbyist. Though Dowlin lost, the issue was resurrected by DeWine's rivals in 2005. Bob McEwen and Jean Schmidt made it a point in their stump speeches to emphasize how long they had been married to their spouses, Schmidt declaring "I am a woman of character who has been married for twenty-nine years." 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar and is the current year. ...

- If Pat DeWine cannot honor his vow before God to preserve the sanctity of his marriage by remaining faithful to his wife, how can he possibly be trusted to honor a vow before God to uphold and defend the Constitution, to preserve the freedom and liberties of those residing in the 2nd Congressional District? If Pat DeWine would betray those closest to him--his wife and children--then no one, especially constituents whom he has never met, is safe from his treachery. Pat DeWine is unfit for public office, even that of dog catcher.
"I deeply regret that my marriage failed. I'll be the first to admit I'm not perfect" DeWine said at a candidate forum in May 2005. DeWine was loudly booed by voters at this forum and its sponsor, the Anderson Township Republican club, voted to declare DeWine was "not qualified at this time."
DeWine has also suffered politically from his father's role in the U.S. Senate compromise on the filibuster issue, although he himself has said that had he been a U.S. senator, he would not have compromised.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reported six days before the primary that DeWine had raised more money than all of his rivals combined, raising $743,407. The political action committees of several of his father's Republican colleagues in the Senate gave him money, including Bill Frist, Trent Lott, Rick Santorum, Thad Cochran, Richard Shelby, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Hagel, and Norm Coleman. In the United States, a political action committee, or PAC, is the name commonly given to a private group organized to elect or defeat government officials in order to promote legislation, often supporting the groups special interests. ...
