Cordray/Sutton appears to be an excellent ticket. It's a smart move for Sutton as well since Cordray is clearly being eyed by Elizabeth Warren as a potential VP or cabinet pick.
Strong on paper, but also super low energy and susceptible to the same playbook Portman used against Strickland. Failed politicians, staid in DC, insider's insider, etc. It'll be hypocritical coming from DeWine, but it was hypocritical coming from Portman. So...
The dynamics I imagine will be quite different in a gubernatorial race, and Cordray likely won't have the same issues with flip-flopping and gaffes as Strickland. Some reliable polling would be beneficial before making any other further analysis.
