Six Days to the Election
Gubernatorial Race
- There is a literal explosion of news and analysis today in this race, but as John Kasich would say, it is Ground Zero. WaPo notes just how many big Democratic names are coming to Ohio just as Ted Strickland begins to rally the faithful and push for support from gun owners, with his volunteers making over 200,000 calls.
- But alas for Strickland, there is trouble in paradise, as at least one campaign stop’s representatives have refused to host Strickland. And the Examiner points out the ugly truth about how many scandals have embroiled Strickland’s administration.
- Meanwhile, the American Spectator gives John Kasich a glowing profile and credits him with the 90′s economic boom. And a Concealed Carry website uses a really dumb metaphor to attack Kasich.
- One thing is certain — if Ted Strickland or John Kasich talk budget specifics sometime in the next week, they could walk away with the race.
House Races
- Jamie Dupree has ominous news for the Democrats in the Buckeye State, and so does Fox News. And Jim Geraghty over at the Campaign Spot reposts a gleeful NRCC memo specifically mentioning Charlie Wilson of OH-6. Assuming the libertarian in that race doesn’t act as a spoiler, though, momentum seems to be breaking towards the Republican, Bill Johnson.
- To no one’s surprise, philosophies clash in OH-16, especially over government involvement in unemployment. Which is funny, because both candidates don’t seem to need to worry about money. Oh, and Ted Nugent might actually help the Democrat. You read that right.
