Coming soon to a theater near you....”Mr. Kucinich goes to Washington (State of)”
No gerrymandering here...
I was wondering when Ohio would release its map. I figured that the Republican to go would be either freshman Bill Johnson or Bob Gibbs, but talk shifted to an Austria-Turner showdown a month or so ago. Judging from some of the articles I’ve read today, Turner has the edge.
Shifting one of the Dem seats to the city of Columbus will save us a lot of anxiety. As it is, both Stivers and Tiberi’s seats aren’t anywhere near safe, and both could fall in a bad GOP year.
The Campaign Spot adds that Chabot, Latourette, and Renacci all get stronger districts. I wonder if they’ve shorn up Johnson. It was supposed to be a safe seat for then-Rep. Ted Strickland, so it can’t be left as it is.
Heh, it’s similar to the prior gerrymander. Incumbent protection.
Interesting. I am curious to see what Kaptur and Kookcinich do.
Stivers is my rep. Glad to see him get a safe district, but I truly despise the thought of a Mary Jo Kilroy return to the House. Even worse would be Coleman.
“I am curious to see what Kaptur and Kookcinich do.”
I expect Kookcinich will be forced to resign.
He’s already persona non-grata among many on the radical nutjob left, for he DARED to speak ill of the Messiah. And frankly, she’s a more useful idiot to the Soroscrats than he is.
The districts around Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland make perfect sense and are population based.
My own 2nd district makes sense based on a rural area and so does the 3rd, but the 6th is silly, as is the one beside it...what is that ....14?
Ohio Ping
I say Dennis will "go west young man" and try to buy into the idiots of Washington state.
We were preparing for electorial battle here in the 4th to defend Jim Jordan. Rumors were rampant.
Except for poor Steve Austria.
LOLOL!
That’s certainly not an Iowa redistricting map.
I wonder why Ohio Republicans screwed Steve Austria like that?
I guess it’s them being cautious and not overreaching and leaving GOP seats that are too marginal.
-1 -1
I’m not thrilled but our 12 remaining seats should be fairly safe.
Tiberi’s seat is getting safer as we speak.
The more Licking County grows (and it just grew by 2 more GOP voters in me and the wifey), the redder it gets. Same goes for Knox.
Never count Dennis out. He may have a horrific voting record, but he’s great at constituent service. Plus, as a member of the minority party he can grandstand all he wants and not be responsible for anything.
