What should Rob Portman do in 2016?

Does OH have a "Rand Paul" rule (i.e. no being on the ballot for two offices at the same time)?

If someone like Cordrey, Strickland, or Ryan ran it'd force Portman to run for just one office (and possibly cost him both).

Is Strickland popular in OH these days?

Yeah, he was always been pretty popular, IIRC (and either way, he's certainly very warmly remembered by most folks here, despite Lebron's claims to the contrary).  He's easily the strongest potential recruit, but I doubt he runs since Portman and him are friends.

Didn't you just say a few weeks ago you thought that Strickland might run (despite already declining)?

Strickland's definitely popular here and all, but like Mike Beebe in Arkansas while he is our strongest candidate against Portman (or in Beebe's case, Boozman), he just won't run. He's just too old and I think he really likes his current job in DC, anyways. Ryan and Cordray are highly unlikely, to. Ryan won't give up his House seat to run statewide and Cordray as you said is eyeing the Governorship.

Strickland might run, but he probably won't.
