Ohio Governor race is this year. And Ohio has shifted from purple to reddish purple.
What is peculiar is that Governor Dewine (R) actually performed well during the Covid-19 epidemic. And I'd really need to think why not to vote for him if he makes the General Election.
Did you catch that 'if'? Economy is decent, unemployment is down, inflation is up, but overall, things aren't that bad... and Dewine is facing primary competition, from the right and the alt-right. And currently, the alt-right has a blossoming nobody in second place in the polling... polling that shows Dewine has a "huge lead", which actually isn't a lead at all.
Dewine, a fixture in State politics in Ohio has about 1 in 3 people supporting his candidacy. Joe Blystone, a man no one heard of is currently second with 1 in 5 supporting his run as a "god fearing Patriot". Jim Renacci is third with 1 in 11 supporting him. He isn't as known as Dewine, but he is a familiar face.
The trouble for Dewine is that more than 1 in 3 are undecided. And we know the undecideds have been leaning heavily towards alt-right fascist candidates. What really bothers me is that if this fascist wins, I'm not sold the Democrats can even beat him.
Dewine should be a sure thing right now. The Democrats don't have a chance in hell of beating him even if dead children were found in the trunk of his car. But his appropriate handling of the Covid-19 pandemic has become a liability. My fucking gawd, what has happened to the US?!
