And apparently O'Neill is resigning from the Ohio Supreme Court to stay in: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2017/12/07/ohio-supreme-court-justice-bill/929930001/

That stupid mother-effer.

What a moron.

[BuckeyeNut]

I'm beginning to think we might see something akin to the Periello v Northam race play out in the Ohio Democratic primary. Cordray's sowing up a lot of support from DC and federal players, but Whaley and Sutton continue to roll out more state level endorsements. The absolutely fractured field of six -- from which it seems unlikely anyone will drop -- means Cordray should win the primary with ease, but I doubt he clears 35% in the primary.

So uh, apparently Cincinnati City Councilwoman Amy Murray is apparently supposed to be named as Renacci's running mate, with it being reported here: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics-extra/2017/12/06/px-amy-murray-poised-join-trump-aligned-ohio-gsets-her-sights-columbus-plans-jump-into-statewide-rac/928655001/

"Murray also had been considered as a running mate for both Attorney General Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Jon Husted. But Murray saw her chances of being part of an establishment ticket eliminated last week, when Husted dropped out of the governor's race to become DeWine's running mate."

I'm not familiar with Ohio politics: What makes Murray such an attractive potential Lt. Governor? I understand trying to find someone with Cinci appeal, but she's just a City Councillor and barely won reelection last year and previously lost it in a past election?

shes a popular figure with money and connections in the cincy area. she won this time by a fairly decent margin. Everyone barely won election to Cincy city council in the mess they had this time around, she was heavily rumored to be Dewines selection prior to the combination of the ticket

Probably not. He's still an ass.

Define everyone, and define barely. P.G. Sittenfeld got nearly 40,000 votes, +7,000 more votes than Cranely did, and Cranley was running for Mayor. David Mann and Chris Seelbach also cleared 30,000 votes. Only the nine people elected only Murray and one other received less than 25,000 votes.

ION: Senator Sherrod Brown's lovely wife, Connie Schultz, offered a (not-so) soft endorsement of Nan Whaley on her Facebook page.

you can't really look at total votes in a race where every voter gets 9!!! votes, I'd expect the top vote getter in a race like this to far outpace the Mayor when everyone gets 9 votes.

only 2% (only 9,000 total votes) separated 3rd place from last place. You know its a messed up election when so many people run that the bottom 7 people combined would have finished third, and not one city councilperson broke 10%

[BuckeyeNut]

While I see your point, it's not as if folks get to cast those 9 votes however they like. No one gave a single vote to Cranely, 4 votes to Sittenfeld, 3 votes to Seelbach, and 2 votes to Mann. Or have I got how voting down there works entirely wrong? Yes, the Cranely-Simpson race was close, I'd be hugely surprised if any of the Columbus City Council members got more votes than the Mayor.

[erſatz-york]

Cordray will be obliterated, big league.

He is a phony.

you are correct, but often people pick 9 when they are offered the opportunity to pick nine, so you very much see that in city council races (especially with a HUGE number of people to vote for)

And columbus, which has far less people running for city council in 2015, had 3 of the 4 people get very close to the mayors total. had they been able to choose 9 there would have been more and that mayors race wasnt close

Ask this Ohio defense attorney about the number of 4-3 votes on important issues in the Ohio Supreme Court, and you'll get a resounding yes.

Hopefully, Kasich appoints another O'Conner, not another DeWine.

Speaking of which, can we also take a moment to pause and ask, if Mike DeWine is elected governor, how much a conflict of interest there will be for Pat DeWine being on the court? Hell, how much a conflict of interest there is now with his father being the state attorney general?

Nina Turner is only slightly more popular with the ODP than Bill O’Neill and for good reason.  She’s an egomaniacal phony who always makes vanity runs on a radical fringe platform.  Any influence she has today is largely just the ODP throwing a bone to the Sanders folks.  I should note that Turner nearly ended up agreeing to be Jill Stein’s runningmate in 2016.
