Who will be next Lieutenant Governor?

Cincinnati.Com | Cincinnati Enquirer | Politics Extra � Yates: ‘Remove term limits’:
"Yates says he plans to run for public office next year, when his House term ends, but not for a legislative or judicial seat. He declined to name the elective office Tuesday."
That leaves governor, lt. governor, secretary of state, treasurer, and attorney general. Its kind of late in the game to run for any of those, especially considering there are already Democrats running for all those. Well, except for lt. governor. Did Yates let it slip that he will be Stricklands new lt. governor?

We also have this article, when Todd Portune said he talked to Strickland about the LG position in late June. The article mentions an AP story, which says the short list of possible running mates includes Jay Williams, the mayor of Youngstown; State Rep. Jay Goyal of Mansfield, and State Rep. Matt Szollosi of Toledo.
