OH: More Money Stuff (August)

[Blair]

Hasn't Ryan done this in every election cycle?

I really don't see why he'd want to stay in the House. I understand not challenged Kasich in 2014, and Portman would have been tough but he has to eventually give one of the offices a shot right?

[Blair]

I haven't really followed this shadow primary in Ohio compared to the other races in Illinois, or Maryland but the impression I seem to have is that the Democratic field is relatively crap, and they're probably going to lose the Governors race.

Is this correct?

[Blair]

God Kucinich/Turner is the type of ticket that would make me vote third party

[Blair]

I hope some junior staffer is given the fun job of doing opposition research on Kucinich.

Surely with his Trumpism he'll be DOA for the primaries right?

[Blair]

Usual panic from someone with virtually no experience in internal Ohio democratic party politics but....

Is there any chance Kucinch could win? I assume'd Cordray would have both national, and state wide support secured, along with the money/organisational clout that bring. I'm hoping that Kucinch support is purely based on his name ID, and that he's doing this to make money afterwards, and remain relevant.

I would have been upset if they'd nominated him for state office in say 2010, but like the Democrats really don't have an excuse to run a pro-Trump/russian stooge in 2018 because 'muh porgressive'

Would the Ohio Democrats in this board even vote for kucinich in the general?

I would.

Would the Ohio Democrats in this board even vote for kucinich in the general?

I'd vote third party/write-in/skip the race.

Would the Ohio Democrats in this board even vote for kucinich in the general?

I would have to put industrial-grade clamps on my nose for his Ukraine comments, but in the current atmosphere any Democrat is better than any Republican.

Interesting to get all three... I asked as Kucinich is very close to the type of 'leftist' candidate I couldn't vote for, but it's easy to sit 3,000 miles and say how you'd vote, and not have to live with the decision.
