I'm sticking with what my gut has been telling me for some time now: it's going to be Schiavoni. Cordray really seems to prefer being a bureaucrat to being an elected.

Let's be honest he also isn't running because he wants to be a future speaker of the house

Personally I think it will be speaker, GOP is over streched, Trump is going full steam ahead on Obamacare repeal while also possiblely putting boots in the ground in Syria, and I just don't see were else the Bernie energy will go other than taking over the dems ala tea party

Why would Ds choose him over someone like Joe Crowley who has widespread support from the caucus?

Nah man let's take it a step further. Trump, Chuck Schumer, Joe Crowley leading Dems, Peter King leading Rs, Cuomo as NGA Chair, Maloney as DCCC chair, Collins as NRCC chair, the national animal becomes NY Pizza, national anthem becomes a song from Hamilton, the county changes its name to Greater New York. NY TAKEOVER!!!!

What do you guys think of Betty Sutton? Says she's considering. If she runs, is it likely she becomes the nominee (assuming Cordray stays out?)

I don't think Cordray is in, and never have, even if he gets fired it will most likely be very late to make a run. I think the D's will nominate Sutton, who did leave her federal gig

Sutton is most likely the best candidate for the dems at this juncture, she's got a bit of a rep as a lazy campaigner though.

Lazy campaigner is ... not the worst Dems think of Sutton. Also, you've presented a major false equivalency, RJ. Cordray can't choose to leave his job, even if he wants to. Not that I'd be surprised if she ran, given her resignation.

Let's be honest he also isn't running because he wants to be a future speaker of the house

Crowley's a good 11 years older than Ryan. They can both be minority leader/Speaker.

Just wish we had more Cory Gardners in the party, pols who aren't cowards and actually willing to sacrifice something in order to run.
Cory Gardner isn't in the party, period, thank God.

ION: Schiavoni to officially announce tomorrow.

Not to be a jerk, but why couldn't Cordray resign to run for office? It's a job not indentured servitude. If Cordray decided tomorrow he wanted to quit and come back and run for governor what is stopping him?

Sutton has her issues, but if she's in she's going to be ahead of Schiavoni or O'Neill as the favored candidate.

I misinterpreted some information about the nature of CFPB Director. It would still be in Cordray's best interest, if he wants to run for Governor, to be fired for standing up to Wall Street and the Trump administration than to resign.

I'm not sure where the lazy campaigner charge comes from. She won a very competitive Democratic primary in '06, and did very well against Renacci in a badly gerrymandered district in '12. However, she had the highest House staff turnover rate for a reason. If she runs, she might honestly have trouble maintaining a campaign apparatus.

Most of the talk about her as a campaigner comes from 10 when operatives I knew were furious about her laziness and felt they had to spend more money to protect her against Ganley, money that would have been better served fighting for Driehaus, Wilson, and even Kilroy.

Hate to double post. But Palenda now officially in for SOS. This could get ugly, as Senator LaRose comes from an independently wealthy family. That said, he was scheduled to have fundraiser in D.C. tonight with Sean Spicer headlining, and Spicer was allegedly made to drop the event from his schedule due to LaRose being so critical of Trump early on. Palenda can probably play on that, regardless.

Schiavoni is invisible to 95% of the state, she represented a larger territory, will be better funded, will have more connections through the county party apparatus, and will have Obama administration connections.

This'll be a fascinating dynamic - Trump deep-sixing potential rising stars like LaRose over their initial critiques of him. I think it could hurt the GOP in a lot of races
