OH-SEN: Renacci Wins Weak Plurality

[Sherrod Brown Shill]

I REALLY want to gloat right now because Mandel is a douche but he made an honorable choice to put family over politics. He just gained a lot of respect from me.

I'm almost a little nervous because Brown would have creamed Mandel harder than 2012 this year, and now who the hell knows who the nominee will be. DeWine/Husted have pretty much cleared the field in the Gov primary so I expect Taylor and/or Renacci will switch over. At this point I'm gonna guess that the nominee will be Renacci.

Unless Husted changes his tune to run for Senate, there's no one stronger than Mandel for the OH GOP to run.

What about Mary Taylor? Her obvious tie to Kasich could attract moderates.

No... Taylor's still got Kasich's endorsement in the Governor's race, but she's running very pro-Trump. Gibbons meanwhile is loaded up with former Kasich staffers. Not that being a "moderate" is how you win a Republican primary in Ohio anyway.

She is polling above Renacci, who I think is most likely to switch fields and run.
