Oz>Vance and Ryan> Fetterman so obviously I’d go Ryan/Oz here . Also from pure political sense it would be far easier to pick up OH in 28 than PA so if you are a Republican Ryan/Oz is the correct choice in that sense and if you are a democrat Vance/Fetterman is the correct choice

Interesting the both parties would prefer their party win in PA rather than OH. I guess because PA is still more of a swing state and incumbency advantage does matter. And both parties expect OH to go red in 2028 regardless of who wins in 2022 (in real life, it's obviously Vance, but it's interesting that people think even if Ryan somehow won in 2022, he'd quite likely be DOA in 2028). Still, hard to disagree with that logic. I voted Ryan/Oz already, but since in practice I support Democrats (at least over Republicans), I suppose Vance/Fetterman may have made more sense from a tactical standpoint. Still, Fetterman = Ryan to me more or less (they'll vote the same way, won't they?) but Oz > Vance. And who knows, maybe if Ryan can win in a year like 2022, he can hold on in 2028?

Don't act like you know where Ohio, or any state for that matter, will 100% be a whole six years from now. I say this as someone who has experienced my home state go from being the dictionary definition of a swing state to solid Trump in a similar timespan. Ohio is trending R, but no trend is permanent, and we still have two whole presidential election cycles to go before Ohioans go to vote in 2028.

Even if Ohio became a swing state again , it would mean PA would be Lean D so it would make more sense for democrats to want incumbency in PA rather than OH
