OH: Harstad (D): Strickland leading by 3

[KingSweden]

Strickland & along with CCM and Feingold, is a DEM celebrity and can extend the 272 freiwal to 290 electors. DEMS can definately afford a loss in PA.

Well done sir. I actually did a double take on the avatar at first, wondering if OC changed his.

VA & OH are just as important as CO& NV. Hilary can win any combo to get past 270 like Obama did; propelling Strickland to victory.

Yes!!!!

Note: Quinnipac claimed Strickland ahead 46-36 in September of 2009, and he lost that race by two points.

This is a presidential race not a midterm election, the race is a tossup wither way. Dynamics of a midterm is different than a 2016 race. OH is a purple state.

The Republican Governor just has 62-29 approval ratings. What difference could that make?

Past predictions:

Pundits like to predict the very worst case scenarios. Clearly in a neutral environment, we should lose 3 senate seats and pick up 3 governships. Not extending unemployment benefits is gonna hurt GOP chances in senate.

Walsh, Landrieu, Begich and Hagen will survive
Pryor and Wva won't.

He also predicted  that George Allen would win in 2006, wrongly.

- +6 Senate seats
- -6 Gubernatorial Mansions

You are talking about Kasich who has run the worse presidential campaign and has all been forgotten in the R primary.

At any rate Trump is the only GOPer who can lose OH/Va.

Kasich is a terrible campaigner.

Hence why, thirteen months before the general, he was down by ten and won by two. Portman isn't making a 12-point bounce, but Strickland's ceiling is 49.5%. No higher.

I am not justifying that its a Lean D state, its a tossup.
