Candidate filing in Ohio closes in less than a week – 4th January – and we still don’t have confirmed candidates in a number of Congressional House districts!
Once again go and take a look at the
2008 Race Tracker Wiki.
Below the fold for details………….
Ohio has 18 Congressional House districts. 7 are held by Democrats who are all at this stage running again as follows: (Note that I have included the Cook PVI scores for each district also.)
OH-06 – D+0,
OH-09 – D+9,
OH-10 – D+6,
OH-11 – D+33,
OH-13 – D+6,
OH-17 – D+14,
OH-18 – R+6,
That leaves 11 Republican held districts.
There are confirmed challengers in 8 of those 11 districts:
OH-01 – R+1,
OH-02 – R+13,
OH-03 – R+3,
OH-07 – R+6,
OH-12 – R+0.7,
OH-14 – R+2,
OH-15 – R+1,
OH-16 – R+4,
And an unconfirmed challenger in 1 district:
OH-05 – R+10,
That leaves two districts with no confirmed candidate
And here they are:
OH-04 – R+14,
Not a peep no candidate here.
OH-08 – R+12,
Not a peep no candidate here.
Less than a week to go and we need 2 candidates – do you know anyone that could run?
Any idea whether the OH SOS has a list of filed candidates online?
Glad to see that OH-04 has a candidate now. Sucks to think that the one uncontested seat might be John Boehner in OH-08. If there isn’t material and room to run for that campaign…
… are Mike Carroll in OH-04 and George Mays in OH-05.

is Democratic plus 33????? Good lord! And THREE Republicans have filed to run? There must be a massive Republican death wish sweeping through the area (although how it managed to even FIND the Republicans I don’t know). Everyone here loved our congresswoman and with that kind of tilt in the district, I think you can understand why I plan to put my efforts into Oh-14 (+2 R), which adjoins us on the east and is currently represented by Steve “I own CAFTA” LaTourette (R-Family Values for You but Not for Me)
