While we are almost a year away from the midterms, a special election in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District this November may provide important insights into what we can expect in 2022. The 15thdistrict typically favors Republicans who have about a 9-point advantage in voter registration, but pro-life Republican Mike Carey is facing a strong opponent in EMILY’s List-backed State Representative Allison Russo (D).

Mike Carey is pro-life, and he is endorsed by National Right to Life and Ohio Right to Life PAC. He supports commonsense laws to protect unborn children and their mothers, and he opposes the use of taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions.
“As a father, I believe that life is precious and must be protected. It’s unconscionable that the Democrats caved to Planned Parenthood and excluded the Hyde Amendment from their $1.9 trillion spending bill, allowing your tax dollars to fund abortions,” Mike Carey states on his campaign website.
By contrast, Allison Russo supports a policy of abortion on demand, which would allow abortion for any reason throughout pregnancy. Russo also supports using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions. She earned the endorsement of EMILY’s List, a DC-based pro-abortion fundraising machine that doles out hefty sums of money for candidates who embrace their radical abortion-without-limits agenda.
Following the passage of pro-life laws in states like Texas and Oklahoma, abortion advocates and their allies in the mainstream media have declared that pro-abortion voters are motivated unlike ever before. Yet despite this supposed momentum on their side, their chosen candidate in the Ohio special election has largely chosen to stay mum on the issue.

Early voting is underway now. Election Day is Tuesday, November 2nd.

“So if the district is +9 in Republican registration and Republicans have held the seat for 52 out of the last 54 years then why does this set the tone for 2022?”
It doesn’t, unless the unthinkable happens.
When the Republican holds the seat by 10-15%, this story will disappear from the news cycles in less than a day. If reported at all, the media spin will be “Republican wins as expected, yawn.” If he *only* wins by 7 points or so however, the media will pretend that it’s a massive moral victory for Democrats everywhere, especially the blithering idiot in the White House.
Great
Exactly
When the Republicans win by 27 points, it will show the mood of the electorate.
Ping
John Kasich, OH (R) a very antiTrump doofus.
All good to hear.
If we can keep the Dem vote lower than the total population of each area then we’re on the right track.
“The district includes the southern portions of Columbus as well as communities west and south of the city. It also includes the college towns of Athens and Wilmington”
So in other words it’s a Rat +20 district. And when the Republican loses it a Bell Weather event, JoeK!
According to other people, it’s a R+ district. See post #9.
Agreed I wish all the “there is no hope the fix is in” posters would SHUT UP. got post it at DU or Daily Kos, make yourself useful!!
Well, we have to out-boink them
Yeah, right. So what? They stop counting and trash 500,000 legit votes by simply not counting them. Tell me about it when the corrupt machines in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati steals every state wide election in ‘22. You tell me who will stop them from doing exactly what was done in Atlanta, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Philly, etc.? This time the DOJ will be out in full force ensuring the election fraud goes unquestioned. You think the FBI, Roberts and his hacks, DOJ, the POS RINOs in Columbus will stop it? You’re in denial. As long as you have those great election laws the election can’t be stolen. You really must start paying attention.
Waiting to see if the R will win by the larger margin than R+9...
“allow illegals here by the thousands per day. I’d say they have a pretty effective population replacement strategy working for them”
Obummer’s Army...
The Republican won by 27 points the last time, 33 points two elections before that. If he wins this election by 27 then it's just par for the course. If he wins by 10 then is that an indication Republicans are in trouble in 2022?
