State Representative Kathleen Clyde seems to be the only Democrat angling for this position. She'd pushed voting rights-related legislation during her tenure, and as the Representative of Kent, has made inroads with various college groups.

Please, no. She's pretty bad. Also, where do y'all think Mandel will end up?

Clyde seems pretty good to me.  Hopefully Mandel will end up in an unemployment line where he belongs (he's all-but-declared his candidacy for Senate).

Can we have Tiberi, please? Or Huffman? Or anyone but Mandel?

How about we just keep Sherrod Brown since he's easily one of the best Senators in the country Tongue

Yep. Brown has far and away the best voting record of any swing state senator, among other things.
Brown is terrible. He's one of these.

It might just be the alliteration, but the idea of "Lieutenant Governor Lou Gentile" is growing on me.

Wow, from his On the Issues page, Mandel is pretty much awful on everything. I hope flawless (except PIPA) beautiful Sherrod Yellow heart crushes him.

One would assume that after today, with the Heartbeat Bill being passed and Kasich warning that a recession could be imminent, things will get interesting. If these two issues really become a problem, especially the recession, I would expect that would advantage the Dems.

I wonder if Michael Coleman still has any designs on being governor. He ran in 2006 but had some marriage issues that caused him to drop out, and was Lee Fisher's running mate in 2002. I heard rumblings about 2018 when he decided not to run for mayor again, but I haven't heard a peep about him since.

No chance of an Ed FitzGerald comeback, I presume?

I don't think so. His underperformance in 2014 took a lot of the shine off of him. (I don't know that anybody really expected him to win, but I think a lot of people expected him to be more formidable than he was. The drivers license thing was just weird.)

ROTFL at anyone who thinks Mandel could beat Brown.  I'm not even remotely worried about this one if Mandel is the Republican nominee.

I've long felt this way, but after this cycle, I'm taking nothing for granted.

I wonder if Michael Coleman still has any designs on being governor. He ran in 2006 but had some marriage issues that caused him to drop out, and was Lee Fisher's running mate in 2002. I heard rumblings about 2018 when he decided not to run for mayor again, but I haven't heard a peep about him since.

Doubtful. Coleman would probably do better running for Governor "from cover" as Mayor. The city's track record over the last 6 years has been terrific.

One would assume that after today, with the Heartbeat Bill being passed and Kasich warning that a recession could be imminent, things will get interesting. If these two issues really become a problem, especially the recession, I would expect that would advantage the Dems.

They also passed the "Guns Everywhere" Bill. Could energize otherwise apathetic students.

Again, I'm pretty sure his minority leader run was 99% based on that, with a 1% eye at becoming Minority Leader and perhaps Speaker eventually.

Can't divine the DeWine!

In all seriousness, DeWine's had such an odd career. He went from the state legislature to Congress, as one does, then took what a lot of people would understand as a 'demotion' to Lieutenant Governor (just as Trey Gowdy is or was apparently considering). Then he served two terms in the Senate, got defeated for reelection (getting proto-Blanched along with Santorum, no less), and contented himself with another 'demotion' as state Attorney General. And now he's running for governor, a position he probably could have held twenty or even twenty-five years ago had he wanted to then. It's sort of like Jerry Brown--it's an interesting enough path he's walking that I feel sort of obliged to wish him well.

I can see two different scenarios for the Ohio Gubernatorial race

1. DeWine and Husted battle it out, and their attacks to eachother get so nasty that a third candidate (either Taylor or Renacci at this point) rises in the polls and gets the nomination.

2. DeWine and Husted battle it out, but are so dominant that it forces the lower tier candidates (again, Taylor and Renacci) to run for something else. I suspect this is where Mandel's primary challenge in the Senate arises.

Honestly, if Renacci doesn't see an opening, I doubt he runs for a lower statewide office. Also, Taylor seems to be the favored candidate of Kasich, even if DeWine and Husted are bigger names.

Coleman's a has-been, 2006 was his last best shot and he couldn't even win the nomination.

Wouldn't call him a "has-been," but his last good chance to run statewide was probably in 2014.

New article out in the Plain Dealer. There's a large group of Bernie supporters, both within and outside of Ohio urging Turner to run. The interesting bit is that they say they'd also support Justice O'Neill were he to run for Governor.

I wonder if it would make more sense for Sherrod Brown to run for Governor than the Senate? He wouldn't be swimming against a partisan tide (or it would be much less of one), the Republican Party won't decide on a candidate until quite late in the game, and if he does win he'll be able to prevent a repeat of the disastrous 2010s House map and probably give Democrats 3-4 House seats plus a bunch of new legislative seats, allowing them to rebuild the Ohio bench. That seems like a much more attractive proposition to me than staying in an unending Senate minority, though perhaps I'm biased since I really want to see Mandel elected and would therefore prefer Brown run to be Governor.

Taylor also seems to be more moderate than DeWine and Husted.

Sherrod Brown is probably a Senate lifer unless he loses re-election.  From what I've heard, he really likes the job.  Plus, the Republicans have a much stronger bench in the Governor's race than in the Senate race.

I can see two different scenarios for the Ohio Gubernatorial race

1. DeWine and Husted battle it out, and their attacks to eachother get so nasty that a third candidate (either Taylor or Renacci at this point) rises in the polls and gets the nomination.

Taylor also seems to be more moderate than DeWine and Husted.

Taylor is really right-wing, but she's so incompetent that she barely said anything after that hilariously inaccurate "report" about healthcare her office put out (even the Dispatch ridiculed her for it).  Husted is the most moderate or at least he used to be (he is the type of guy Democrats can sometimes work with).  He's certainly the only one with real cross-over appeal.

Updated the OP with potential Auditor candidates, which rounds out the 2018 state executives.

And while I didn't include him in the update as there's no indication he's considering, I'd love to see Chillicothe Mayor Luke Feeney run for Auditor. He got some national exposure at the DNC, and previously served as city auditor. Another reason I'd like to see Feeney run is because I am a little worried that the Democratic ticket is going to be very NE OH heavy.

Though, at the same time, Democrats have been taking the region for granted as of late.
