I didn't know his name before this poll, to be honest, but I'm certainly voting for Enyart. (Party vote....and because I do know Jason Plummer, unfortunately.)

hahaha

I always love it when that is a factor in people's votes!

Probably a good thing for Democrats that Costello choose to retire this year and not in 2010.

I'm guessing that from his previous status as a military guy, Enyart is a pragmatic moderate type? If he's winning fairly easily, then that's very good.

This is an R-trending district, ie a district where Dems can expect to be stronger congressionally than presidentially, where Obama still won 55% and where the Republican candidate, while high profile, is... problematic. It was never likely to fall - or at least wouldn't have been without the Democrats' own candidate recruitment worries.
