I think having Tim Ryan as the Senate candidate and someone like Kevin Boyce as the gubernatorial candidate would boost the fortunes of both. Maybe not enough to push either over the finish line, but still...I like Ryan's odds a lot more if he's running alongside a complementary candidate for governor.
Trust me, you don't want Boyce anywhere near the statewide ticket. The guy is an Ed FitzGerald waiting to happen. Of the folks who've been discussed as candidates, John Cranley seems like our best bet as insurance in case DeWine loses his primary to some clown like Renacci or even Warren Davidson.
How about John Boccieri?
Boccieri couldn’t even win his own state senate district in 2018, his career in elected office is over.
Man, Ohio Democrats are in sorry shape. It's hard to even identify promising up-and-comers. Yech!
