Hugh, an Ohioan, never mentioned the governor's race.
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.
