Ohio Mid-Day Update

Gubernatorial Race

• Early voting begins today, which means the fur is going to really start flying.
• And just as Ted Strickland is trying to make a case for being a business-friendly Governor, MSN’s Money Central rates Ohio as one of the “worst states to build a nest egg.” And Strickland calls John Kasich reckless?
• But that’s okay. Ted Strickland has his Democratic base to appeal to! All six of them!
• Meanwhile, Kasich trots out the big guns with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

Senate Race

• Rob Portman continues to get his numbers right, according to Politifact.

House Races

• Mary Jo Kilroy, incumbent Democrat of OH-15, turns nasty, calling Steve Stivers a flip flopper.
• And meet Betty Sutton, incumbent Democrat of OH-13. Her race against car dealer Tom Ganley is the race of the day over at the Hill.
