OH-Sen 2022: So you’re telling me there’s a chance

[Lambsbread]

My first reaction was delight. Even if this seat seems out of our hands, we could make a play and try to at least make a dent in the margin.

Then I realized that this means Jim Jordan is probably going to run. I want to die.

[Lambsbread]

There is absolutely 0 chance Lebron runs lol no way he would give up his career for some vanity, doomed senate run.

[Lambsbread]

I mean Ryan may be the favorite but let’s all agree that Amy Action is one of the best names for a politician ever.

It's Acton, no "i" - Ack-ton.

Jimmy Dore, a guy who thinks it's more worthwhile to build bridges with white supremacists than liberals, is a "progressive"? Alrighty then!

[Lambsbread]

Bummer Acton isn’t running, but Safe R -> Safe R

Wow, that ad was terrible. The awkward, obviously scripted dialogue...the "trying to explain complex issues to a child in a way that he could understand and still failing" angle...the obviously green-screened factory shot...felt more like a Tim Robinson sketch than an actual ad. People won't care about the nitty gritty of this thing, but Tim Ryan has got to be one of the most awkward people in politics.

[Lambsbread]

Tim Ryan isn't going to win. In fact, no Democrat (except for Sherrod Brown) will win a statewide race in Ohio for the foreseeable future.

Don't you know that PVI if it's 3.0 D's win WI, PA, NH, GA and OH with 53/47 Senate, last poll had a tie with Ryan and all the Rs

What the Ds can write off is NC, Beasley is too left wing if she is nominated to beat McCrory, since she leads Jackson, we must watch out for IA, Sand can win as well, against Grassley, IA and OH usually votes together

There maybe split voting like in 2018 between DeWine and Sherrod Brown, Rubio, CRIST, WARNOCK and Kemp and Hassan and Ayotte

How many people do you think are going to ticket split Warnock and Kemp?

[Lambsbread]

lol

[Lambsbread]

Hopefully he wins the primary and blows the general.

[Lambsbread]

Hopefully he wins the primary and blows the general.

I'd love that. Sadly, Ohio is just too red.

Meh, who knows. After Doug Jones and Warnock/Ossoff, I never say never. Not saying I'm expecting an upset or anything, but I think #candidatequality matters.

Oooooo I'm intrigued.

Oooooo I'm intrigued.

Why?  Her last primary campaign against Joyce Beatty was a joke

I like progressives and I prefer supporting women, especially women of color, in primaries where possible.

[Lambsbread]

It blows my mind that this unhinged lunatic will be a United States Senator in the not-too-distant future.

LMAO I wonder why she wouldn't endorse Josh Mandel. Hmm...could it be that he's Jewish?

Or maybe she just thinks Vance is the most Nationalist America First candidate? Ever considered that?

I don’t think Mandel being Jewish has anything to do with this.

You, uh, left out White before Nationalist there. And yes, him being Jewish is a big ding when it comes to people like her. If they don't got other options, sure they can support a Mandel. But if there's someone lunatics like Greene can support who is considered more pure, they'll go with that option instead.

Mandel is a Trump sycophant and Vance wrote an entire book criticizing the average Trump voter.

[Lambsbread]

Josh Mandel is one of the most unpleasant motherf--kers to ever run for office in this country. He is truly a spineless, dickless coward. I watched a few clips of that debate and it's frankly embarrassing how little he cares about policy as much as trying to hit every right wing buzzword. It's like he's playing bingo up there.

Frankly, the entire OH GOP should be ashamed of the candidates they're running and it sucks that they're still going to win the seat no matter who they nominate.

[Lambsbread]

Josh Mandel is such a coward.

[Lambsbread]

Mandel's thesis is that Trump won by getting in front of voters and behaving like white trash, and that the best way of winning a Republican primary is to act like someone out of a Jerry Spring sketch every time you appear in public.

The difference is that Trump has a much more commanding presence. Mandel always looks and sounds like he’s about to start crying.

[Lambsbread]

Some of Ryan's rhetoric during this cycle has missed the mark completely but I'm interested to see how he fares in the general. Too bad he probably won't be able to connect well enough to make a difference.
