If Sen. Rob Portman beats former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland this November 2016 in the Senate election, can you see Strickland running for governor in 2018, or is his political career over?

He'll turn 77 and have been a two time statewide loser. Yeah, no.

He could be the next DNC chair, if Brazile does not want it. Granholm and Franken a close second.

Strickland has aged incredibly well, but he is still 74 and would be even older in 2018, as others have said. I get a weird vibe that he isn't all there mentally, either.

Brazile is only acting, so she won't be permanent. And I don't think that Senators usually become DNC chairs.

Poor guy. Tim Ryan should have ran for the seat.

Democrats may turn to him as a last resort option, he would be credible but likely wouldn't win. Democrats will likely work hard to recruit Tim Ryan to run instead. If Strickland wins the Senate seat though, I think he would stay in the senate and wouldn't run for governor. I believe Portman will end up winning this race this fall, but Strickland could turn things around. It's still largely possible he wins

Not a chance.  Even if Tim Ryan doesn't run, it won't be Strickland.

If Tim Ryan doesn't run, I think it will be Cordray.

Maybe.  I don't know that he wants it, tbh.  From what I've heard, he really loves heading the Consumer Protection Bureau and I could easily see him choosing to spend the rest of his career as a consumer advocate of some sort.  He probably has right of second refusal though.  Connie Pillich (who might very well have beaten Mandel if she hadn't been dragged down by 1) 2014 being 2014 and 2) FitzGerald) is probably going to run.  I've heard rumors Betty Sutton (who I've never been very impressed by as a candidate tbh) is looking at the race as well.

Pretty much this. The only way Cordray likely runs is if he's out of a job due to Trump winning.

No way.

Ryan and Pillich are both saying they'll run behind doors that aren't quite closed. And at this point, Cordray has all the makings of a beltway-lifer. (Though the OH GOP is relentlessly attacking him.)

I would like to see now frmr. Columbus Mayor Coleman make another run at it, but that also seems unlikely.

Very much so. He had some corruption issues arise in the news in the last few months of his term. Not sure if/how those shook out.
