Rob Portman has called dibs for the republicans.
ReplyDeletelee fisher or tim ryan. I think itwill be lee fisher, he has governor Strickland's backing plus the war chest that Strickland will be able to help lt gov fisher raise. It's going to take around 25 million to win the race. However, fisher is known for loosing several state wide elections since 1994.

Zack Space the accidental congressmen, who has not had a formidable opponent. Remember how he got elected???
Paul Hackett is a name to watch. Who could raise the money through moveon.org. But if he could win, he would of ran against "mean jean".
