OH: More Money Stuff (August)

[BuckeyeNut]

After months of open secrecy, Dettelbach is out of the gate. He seems to be emphasizing his role fighting corruption as a US Attorney and is, for now, demurring on Trump.

Democrats are pushing an unlikely source — Jerry Springer — to run for governor in Ohio

Aren't rumors of Springer being recruited for Governor a quadrennial tradition in Ohio?

Seemingly, he told a friend of mine who was pushing him he wasn't running

Springer's never gonna run and no one wants him to, but every cycle some random local reporter looking for a headline or low-level Republican operative tries to make this a thing even though everyone knows it's ridiculous.

Am I the only one the who thinks that the Dem Gov Field in OH is pretty good right now?

One of few. It isn't bad, per se. I'm honestly just surprised it's so small.

Small? There's five candidates really 4 major ones about the same size as the Republican field right now. Now none of them are A list candidates but they are credible not a bunch of gadfly's.

I dont think it is, not compared to the much stronger GOP field

I think hes surprised, as am I that with so many "B-C list" candidates there arent more of them. Usually in a race with a bunch of lesser known a huge chunk get in.

I think springer is out and kuncinich is in though

This. With Ryan out and Cordray highly unlikely, I'm surprised the floodgates didn't break. There were twenty or so suspected B and C-listers looking at running in such a case, but now we've only got 4. (Kiefer's a D-list candidate.)

I'm also worried Kucinich is going to get in, since he's not dispelling rumors.

I mean excluding for a second the likelihood of it just being a rumor-mill situation...why would Jerry Springer be such a ridiculous choice?

If the DCCC can target Chabot (Cinn City Council) for a congressional race and Sittenfield (Cinn City Council) can be taken halfway seriously by some for a Senate race, then why can't a guy who was actually the Mayor of Cincinnati at one point run for Governor?

Those Ohio Obama-Trump voters...I think they'd eat that up. A good chunk of them were basically "celebrity voters" by any standard, anyway. How many of them do you think actually watch(ed) Springer regularly in their lives?

[BuckeyeNut]

I don't think Springer would be awful. (Though age would bother me.) I just don't think he will.

Just to clarify, Springer wasn't elected Mayor of Cincinnati, he was appointed to a one year term by the city council.  Plus, no one in Democratic Party wants or expects him to run.  And in any case, all the current candidates are infinitely stronger (especially Schiavoni).  I'd also add that Sittenfield was only taken "seriously" as a sacrificial lamb, we all saw what happened when Strickland entered the race.

Yep, where are the Nina Turners, Armond Budishes, Mike Colemans, Jay Williams, Mike Ashfords, and Tom Sawyers.

Armond Budish would be an A-list candidate, but it's too soon after FitzGerald for a Cuyahoga candidate to lead the ticket.

Turner could still get in, and that would bother me greatly, but Coleman was never going to do it. Budish would be a great candidate, but after the past Cuyahoga County Exec. flopped, I think he's playing it safe. Bill O'Neill might still get in since Brunner and Cordray most likely won't.

Heh. Great minds think alike.

I don't think Budish is an A candidate, maybe B+, certainly best of what's left

Tbh, Budish would be stronger than Cordrey.

no way. How are you going to sell Budish to the rest of the state? outside of the big 3 what is the appeal?

Maybe I'm a cynic, but Mary Taylor is capitalizing on her sons' opioid addiction to connect with voters.

I mean, it was always pretty obvious that she's a terrible person (regardless of what you think of her political views)
