The OH governor's race is probably lost. Let's be fair about it. Hugh is realistically sizing up the GOP's chances in key close races, not engaging in wild pipe dreaming. We'd all love a complete GOP result in OH, but based on the numbers to date, that's not likely to happen. If DeWine survives, it'll be victory enough in the current political climate.
BTW, I love the GOP's publicized "firewall" strategy in the MO, OH and TN Senate races. While it leaves PA, MT and RI and other states) behind, it's focus on very winnable seats is admirable -- and smart. Too diffuse an approach might lead to losses across the board.
AZ. also recall that Burns and Santorum have their own war chests, so they are not being thrown overboard. Rick has over 25 million alone
Burns and Santorum have lots of campaign cash left. If 12+ years of incumbency can't protect them at this stage, well it was nice knowing them. I only wish Kean would be included in the firewall. It would be a slip in the face of the RATS "Culture of Corruption" MO.
He will win.
