Ohio Update

A couple of Ohio-centric items for you today...

  • PolitickerOH: Kilroy buys $220K for TV, Stivers reserves $1.5M -- That's a lot of airtime going to the Republican, my friends...


  • AG Race: Quinny has a poll out showing Cordray with an 18-point lead (PolitickerOH), but they think the GOP candidate is named Cripes...so I'm not sure how much I'm going to rely on them. At any rate, the response from Team Crites is accurate:
    "The fact that an established statewide career politician like Richard Cordray has less than 50 percent of the vote when career prosecutor Mike Crites just got into the race shows how vulnerable Cordray really is. Our internal polling shows that the more people know about Cordray, the less they want to see him as Attorney General."
    Which means this is going to be a race about name recognition and who can define the other guy first. And on that score, 18-points -- at this point -- ain't a lot to be crowing about...
