OH: More Money Stuff (August)

[Suburbia]

OH-GOV 2018 is Tossup. Period. Any party can win this seat in 2018. I think Kasich will be a major factor in this election.

Politico feature on Cordray & the race

I think he should go for it. At the end of the day, Trump is going to get to name his successor at the CFPB regardless. If he misses the governor race, he'll have to wait until 2022 to have another shot at that or a Senate seat, and circumstances by then might even preclude that.

Agreed. It's time for Cordray to accept his destiny and become the governor of Ohio and make his way to the White House in 2024.

Is Mr. Cordray charismatic enough to win the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination? Is he too white? Maybe. A Cordray-Ossoff ticket in 2024 would be good or a Warren-Cordray ticket, but it would be too "intellectual" for the same white working class voters Cordray is trying to court as Ohio governor in 2018.

OH-GOV 2018 is Lean R. Either Husted or DeWine could win. However, since the Ohio Republican Party is changing post-Kasich, do Republicans distance from Kasich or do they align themselves with his record to win some of Kasich's blue-collar base?
