Could Strickland and Brown bring in Dem House candidates in Ohio?
Edited on Thu Sep-14-06 02:17 AM by longship
Ohio is a political nightmare for the Repukes. They really have messed things up badly there. Between the 2004 Presidential debacle and the outrageous scandals hitting shortly afterwards, Democrats stand a chance to take advantage this November. Most all election predictions place Ohio as moving left this election. The Repukes have nobody to blame but themselves.

With Strickland and Brown likely wins at the top of the ballot, there could be some benefits for Dems running for congressional seats down ballot.

OH-2 -- Dr. Victoria Wulsin is running a helluva good shoe string campaign against Repuke Mean Jean Schmidt. She's raised very little money, but has Schmidt so worried that she has literally spent *all* of her money. Schmidt has had to contribute more money to her own campaign. It's not looking good for the madwoman at this time. No polls at this time. But this could be one of the shocker upsets in November. Is there a doctor in the house? There could be one in January.

Other Ohio House seats in play:

OH-1 -- Incumbent Repuke Steve Chabot v. Dem John Cranley. Cranley is raising respectable money against Chabot. Chabot leads in latest polling by nine. With Ohio being this year's wild card, this could be reachable for Cranley.

OH-15 -- Incumbent Repuke Deborah Pryce v. Dem Mary Jo Kilroy. Kilroy campaigning strongly and has pulled within four in the polls.

OH-18 -- Incumbent madman Robert Ney v. Dem Zack Space. Space is ahead right now against the unknown Repuke candidate. Last poll against Ney put him up by four points. Most predictions put this normally safe Repuke seat in real trouble.

Could we take four away from the Repukes in Ohio?

(Let's see, three in IN, four in OH. Maybe two in AZ. That's nine in just three states. Whoa! Scary for the Repukes. Poor Repukes.)

1. Ney is not running for re election.
I know that much. I don't know who exactly is running in his place. I just know they are trying to get the local assemblywoman or State Senator to do it. nonetheless, polls have shown the Dem ahead in that district.

Space is pretty sure of winning that one.
I'll edit OP.
