Big lead bodes well for rest of Democratic ticket (Ohio)

[im10ashus]

Way to go Ohio!

Although we’re miles from Election Day, a new Dispatch Poll shows that a near-sweep of statewide races appears within the grasp of Ohio Democrats.

Led by gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland’s commanding 19-point lead at the top of the ticket, Democrats are up by at least 8 points in the contests for auditor, secretary of state and treasurer.

The only Republican currently ahead for any state administrative office is Auditor Betty D. Montgomery, vying for the attorney general’s job she held from 1995-2002.

Strickland’s continued dominance — he led by 20 points two months ago in the first Dispatch Poll for the general election — could shift the spotlight in Ohio to the battle for U.S. Senate.

1. I hope these numbers hold true up to and including election day!

2. Nobody should stop -- aim for BIGGER margins!

Just being ahead cannot be viewed as 'enough' ... not unless it's 90% to 10%. Unless there's an overwhelming and crushing electoral margin, it's like the CANCER of fascism and criminality continues to infest the body politic.

3. I'm all for bigger margins, my point was about them shrinking.
