OH: More Money Stuff (August)

[BuckeyeNut]

As above. The Dem slate seems to be building to:

Governor: Schiavoni
AG: Dettelbach
SOS: Clyde
Treasurer: Leland
Auditor: Ritenauer

Very NEOH heavy. Pillich for LG might be a good choice. More balanced geographically, and on gender.

[BuckeyeNut]

Several things.

1: If Ryan is to be held to his timeline of "a couple of weeks," we should know his intentions by Thursday. An announcement is expected soon.
2: Speaking of timelines, the one I was given for Kucinnich was off, but buzz is building. When asked if he would run, Kucinnich did provide a Shermanesque statement.
3: Our Revolution is holding an organizing meeting for Nina Turner's hypothetical Gubernatorial bid. Like Kucinnich, Turner won't deny the possibility of running.

Yuuuuuuuuck.
I sincerely hoped that either Turner would have the wisdom to see her chances if she were the Dem nominee, or the official Bernieverse would, and she either wouldn't run or Our Rev (of which she's a board member, so this is pie in the sky) wouldn't support her.

How good a candidate is Schiavoni? I would imagine that Governor might help carry the other row offices.

I think the issue is no one knows how good a candidate he is. He's a localized state senator with little to no state name ID who's never had to run s tough race before.

[BuckeyeNut]

Renacci under fire for being the most dodgy Ohio Congressman home over recess. Unlikely to negatively impact his campaign for Governor, if he launches one, but could be bad if he decides to run for re-election instead.

[Blackacre]

Has Ryan decided yet

[BuckeyeNut]

Has Ryan decided yet

Nothing yet, even though it's two weeks to the day he said a decision was coming in a "couple of weeks." News you want buried goes out on Friday, so maybe he'll announce on Monday.

[Rjjr77]

Mary Taylor created her gubernatorial campaign committee today.

[BuckeyeNut]

Yep. Official website and everything. I'm still surprised she has Kasich's official endorsement. That may carry less weight, but it's still meaningful, since she bucked Borges for Timken earlier.

[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.

I disagree, it leans R. The two front runners are serious big candidates in the state, and the democrats don't have a candidate of their caliber right now

I don't think a Kasich endorsement matters, not without his political apparatus which is all backing dewine

How likely is Nina Turner to run?

[Rjjr77]

How likely is Nina Turner to run?

Anything is possible. She'd get absolutely smoked

[MAINEiac4434]

Anything is possible. She'd get absolutely smoked

She would. Far too left for the state, and isn't exactly an appealing public speaker, nor could she appeal to Obama-Trump voters or Brown-Kasich voters. OH Dems would be punting if they nominated her.

[henster]

If Ryan gets in hopefully he clears the field and everyone else goes for the row offices.

I'd vote for Husted over Turner in a second (I already did it in 2014).

I'm a big Husted fan.

I'm not, but I feel like he's at least someone who Democrats can work with (or if not, he certainly was as Secretary of State).  Fortunately, the Democratic nominee will probably be Schiavoni whom I'd vote for over any of the Republicans running (including Husted).

Democratic Party Chairman, David Pepper, is calling for potential gubernatorial candidates to "get on with it" since the unknown intentions of the bigwigs is keeping lesser known contenders from developing profiles.

Ryan's folks, even though it is now been more than a couple of weeks since is "couple of weeks" statement are saying a decision will come "soon" and Cordray's folks see May as the latest they can jump in to the race. Which means he needs to hurry up and get fired. The decisions of those two alone will seemingly finalize the decisions of Senator Schiavoni, Justice O'Neil, Mayor Williams, and Mayor Whaley. As for Sutton and Pillich, no one really seems to know what their decisions hinge on.

I'm betting Sutton doesn't want to run and lose, so she'll wait for ryan to decide first.

Guess he felt the heat from Pepper.

NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!
