John Kasich (governor) and Rob Portman (U.S. Senate) are leading in their races by 12 points and 13 points respectively. Other statewide Republican candidates are doing well also. This poll was conducted by The Columbus Dispatch, which has historically conducted accurate polls. The races will probably tighten as we approach November, but the lack of enthusiasm for Dem candidates is a problem that the Dems will not be able to overcome.

Old saying,
“As goes Ohio, so goes the nation”.
Here’s hoping.

Let's hope the re3d tide rolls in in Ohio. We stand to lose one or possibly two seats after the census results come in, and it will be great to see one or two 'rats redistricted out of existence.

The dems have made a wasteland of Ohio just like they did with Michigan.

Illinois has been corrupt for decades.

Pennsylvania is their next target because of the dem preoccupation with green jobs and anti coal.

GOP needs to be RESTRUCTURED not RESURGENT.

Why will the results be different this time if they aren’t?

Anyone else catch this paragraph?

Early voting could be enhanced in Democrat-rich large counties because local officials mailed applications for absentee ballots to all voters and are paying the return postage, a factor that brought a GOP federal lawsuit last week.

Agreed - the GOP in Ohio, where I live, is basking in the Anti-Dem mood, they are offering nothing new, at least not with any conviction.

Candidates have “floated” their ideas and put it out on websites but haven't written op-eds in local papers or really stood up.

On good example is Chabot. I like Steve, and of course will vote for him, but his his message is very esoteric, basically JOBS JOBS JOBS and stop Pelosi. I like to see something akin to the contract with America. Gimme Flat Tax, Repeal the stupid healthcare law, and stop government regulation, and do something like build nuclear plants instead of cars.

“Gimme Flat Tax, Repeal the stupid healthcare law, and stop government regulation, and do something like build nuclear plants instead of cars.”

Cripes. Why aren’t YOU running? My dream agenda. I’d love to see us bury these idiots in a Conservative, common sense blitz between now and voting day.

By the way, I hope the Flat Tax gets a decent hearing some day. Everybody with the same amount of skin in the game would be a huge boost to national and personal pride and put the us back in US ... My 15% is absolutely equal to anyone else’s ... and the redistributionists and elitists could then STFU about parity.

Pleasantly surprised to see Kasich with such a strong lead on Strickland. I figured Stickland would be tough to get out of there and that it would be a much closer battle.

“As goes Ohio, so goes the nation”.

I thought that was Missouri but I could be mistaken.

“I like to see something akin to the contract with America.”

Expect one from the GOP in the upcoming week and from what I hear it will strike all the right chords and resonate with the American electorate.

Of course, you should also expect the Dems and their state-run socialist media to criticize the hell out of it.

Hey man,

Besides, me thinks this year may be a little different.

But just in case, let's go shoot ourselves in the heads before November. Stupid, out of touch moderates.

My daughter lives in Louisville. 3 years ago she left Tacoma Park, MD. Lived in CA for a year, now in KY for 2 years. She told me yesterday she received an absentee ballot from Maryland. It was NOT forwarded, it was sent to her at her KY address. I don’t think this is accidental.

It’s practically a guarantee that sending an absentee ballot to any former resident of Montgomery County will go to a lefty. And they are betting that a lot of these former Montgomery County lefties will use the ballot and vote twice. They know we won’t.

She just threw it away.

"I am enthusiastic about the upcoming election because it will kick out many of the incumbents,"

And will bring back the recycled incumbents.

FORMER U.S. Rep. John Kasich
FORMER U.S. Rep. Rob Portman
FORMER U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine (WTH will vote for him...seriously...WHO?)
