is Ohio going \u201cred,\u201d or are Democrats simply not competing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 2018 elections, \u201cnot competing\u201d was the operative term.&nbsp;&nbsp;Looking at the candidates for office, led by Richard Cordray running for Governor, Ohio Democrats failed to find standard bearers that could spark excitement.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cordray was a candidate from the Hillary Clinton mold, a good administrator and a well-known name, but unable to impact on the average voter. He would have made a great Governor, but wasn\u2019t a dynamic candidate. Brown won by seven percent, but Cordray, facing an aging Mike DeWine lost by four.&nbsp;&nbsp;The rest of the statewide ticket followed suit, with every statewide Democrat losing by around four percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That sounds like a massive defeat, because it was.&nbsp;&nbsp;But to look at it politically, in 2018, with an uninspiring slate of candidates, the Ohio Democrats were within four percent of statewide office.&nbsp;&nbsp;Republicans in Ohio have a dearth of \u201cexciting\u201d candidates as well, with Husted probably the heir apparent to take the lead.&nbsp;&nbsp;So Ohio remains under Republican control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What will it take for Democrats to overcome the four percent gap?&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2020, a Presidential turnout of voters may well be enough to put Ohio back in the \u201cBlue\u201d Presidential column, but for statewide offices, up for election in 2022, it is going to take more than retread candidates from the 2018 campaigns.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ohio Democrats need to reach out to find inspiring candidates, candidates that can \u201cfire-up\u201d not just the base in the strongholds of the Northeast and central cities, but can cross the line to make gains in the suburbs that control Ohio politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can happen.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Twelfth Congressional District special election in August of 2018 is the playbook, as Democrat Danny O\u2019Connor came within two thousand votes of Republican Troy Balderson in a heavily Republican area.&nbsp;&nbsp;O\u2019Connor made huge gains in the northern suburban areas around Columbus, demonstrating the path to regaining Democratic success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will take exciting candidates.&nbsp;&nbsp;It will take clever strategies.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, of course, it will take money (something that O\u2019Connor had in the special election, but not so much in the general election three months later.)&nbsp;&nbsp;But the claim that Ohio has turned \u201cRed\u201d for good is premature.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ohio is still within the grasp of the Democrats:  they need to find the Conor Lambs or Elaine Lurias as well as the solid Democratic veterans.&nbsp;&nbsp;And find the money to support them.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do all that, and Ohio can stop being the \u201cproving ground\u201d for all of the far-right Republican strategies, and get back to governing for the people again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is Ohio Red?
