The undecideds are high, which makes sense, because both candidates are fairly new to the district; Renacci only represents 40% and Sutton only has 21% of the new seat.

Since this is an internal, they're probably both tied.

Boy if Renacci loses in this seat, I'd have to imagine the GOP is in for a world of hurt in November. Facing an incumbent makes things more difficult, but this really ought to be a slam dunk race.

Well, they're both incumbents; but, yeah, Renacci is still more of an incumbent.

I think the GOP House delegation will do pretty well in Ohio. The ceiling for Democrats this year in Ohio is 6 seats, in my mind; they'll win the 4 liberal districts plus Charlie Wilson in CD6 and Sutton here.

Well, good thing for Sutton that the map could very well be redrawn in 2014.
