Hmmmm....
I wonder if we will continue to see these types of trends in post Labor Day polls now that voters are starting to tune into the election.
I would still give DeWine an edge here, being Ohio and all, not to mention being a Household name whose been around for decades in state politics (Still remember sipping iced tea and eating cookies his wife baked on his front porch back in the early '90s in SW-OH, when he was just a lowly US-House member).
Still, been a long time "Politician" can cut both ways, especially if the voters in Ohio haven't really seen the "hope and change" they were expecting after Trump got elected President....
I believe that's exactly what cordray's banking on. There has been this absolutely incessant Internet Ad I've heard during damn near every commercial break on YouTube for the last few weeks where it flashes pictures and years of deline running from the 70s bit by bit up to the present year by year, while the audio is of Dwayne being interviewed on some talk show where the host is quoted saying now I talk to people and they say Mike dewine whoa, he's been around a long time. Does it bother you to be a career politician? Dewine responds no, it doesn't.
I strongly suspect his next few lines were long the lines of appreciating public service and wanting to give back, etc etc but the fact it is being played at saturation levels for an internet ad indicates that is exactly what cordray thinks is Dwayne's Achilles heel.
Mind you I guess he doesn't really consider it his Achilles heel, because that implies dewine is otherwise in vulnerable. Now he started playing an ad hitting on to Wine joining a lawsuit which went to the Supreme Court and severely curtailed overtime rules. Sure, I believed wine only did so his amica's cure eye among a bunch of other attorney generals, but it certainly shows where do wines loyalties lie, and that's an effective attack.
