OH: More Money Stuff (August)

[GlobeSoc]

Republicans in the General Assembly are looking to override Governor Kasich's veto and cut 500,000 Ohioans from Medicaid spending. If they are successful, I don't see how this doesn't come back to bite them. Hard.

What downballot statewide races are the Ohio dems most likely to win?

[GlobeSoc]

You have to be a huge cuck to change your username to #Never<Politician>. You lose your identity and quite frankly, no one cares.

Ohio is winnable. Even if Ohio has permanently shifted to 10 points republican in 2016(which I doubt), our generic ballot lead is some 12 points on average nationally.

Ohio is winnable with Cordray.

Jesus H Christ, Ohio Democrats must be the most miserable people in the country to be around

I'm an Ohio Democrat and a Cleveland sports fan, I wake up each morning with a smile.

Enjoy the Cordray stans on atlas for the next 6+ months. I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as I loved berniebros during the primaries.

Maybe. It's anecdotal, but I can count the number of Ohioans excited about Cordray on one hand. And two are Melissa Barnhart people, one of whom was actually working for Zack Scott. So, meh.

What region of Ohio are you in?

Will there be significant ticket splitting in Ohio 2018?

Husted under fire for using tax dollars to put out campaign advertising -- Mandel's done the same thing in his Senate campaign.

*stops by*

I would like to say I called this a year ago while 3/4 of you said Cordray would not run. Thank you in advance.

*leaves*

And had Northam not won by so much, you’d have been wrong.  Lucky guesses are just what they sound like (no offense).  Anyway, the extent to which Cordray blew entering the race is remarkable.

lol

Switching my endorsement from Cordray to Kucinich!

Keep in mind that the democratic candidate is almost certainly going to be undecided, who has a double digit lead over the rest of the field

But in all seriousness, I think that Cordray will win undecideds as he used to be a statewide official, so he'll be able to distinguish himself by being a vaguely familiar name for them. Contrast with former house rep Kucinch, the other viable candidate.

Or alternatively Cordray and Kucinch both get wrapped in scandal somehow and Schiavoni sneaks in.

Dennis is a FOX news sellout, I don't get why people think he's actually a more progressive option...

If I was Cordray's campaign manager, I'd make an ad just showing various clips of Kucinch on FOX news.

Because of his policy's?

Maybe he genuinely believes in them, but I feel some doubt based on his history with conservative outfits.
