Gubernatorial Race
- Ted Strickland claims he’s going to do a lot for Ohio’s public school system. Because rehashing your campaign promises from four years ago is totally the way to win after you haven’t delivered. That may be why he’s doing it in Ohio’s small villages, where the media’s more afraid to go. It probably won’t do anything for his enthusiasm gap, but according to Reuters, that’s for the rest of the party to do. It won’t help, if the WSJ is any guide, given that Obamacare has turned Ohio red.
Senatorial Race
- Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher is still going to lose. Don’t believe me? Look at Rob Portman’s fundraising numbers. Oh well, at least the moderators for the debates had fun.
House Races
- Betty Sutton’s old Republican rival in OH-13 is giving money to Democrats now. He must be reading David Brooks.
- Marcy Kaptur and Rich Iott of OH-9 held a debate…in a coffee shop. More detailed recap to come.
- Mary Jo Kilroy and Steve Stivers in OH-15 are joining the Steve Driehaus race in OH-1 as a race the GOP has already locked up. Unless the news dramatically changes here, I’m off to greener pastures…like the fact that the NRCC now has “wife beater” as a tag line to use against Charlie Wilson in OH-6. But that isn’t stopping Democrats — like Marcy Kaptur in OH-9 — from donating to him.
- And say hello to Zack Space in OH-18, another vulnerable Democrat. He’s got Karl Rove out for his blood. And Salon out for the blood of his opponent.
