The talk about moving past Taft is interesting, given that both Petro and Cordray are in the top 6 beneficiaries of Coingate with Tom Noe. They are both powered by dirty money.
Makes you wonder what's the point…perhaps its time to bring in an outsider rather than recycle the same old names.
There is an independent in this race - it will be tough to get name recognition but Robert Owens has a reasonable platform.

Petro will be a tough candidate, but it is going to be a tough race for him to win. Strickland has solid approval numbers and I think Ohio voters are happy to have moved past the Taft Administration, in which Petro served as AG.

I'm surprised John Kasich hasn't run for anything in the past couple cycles. I'm not saying this is the right race for him, but if I were a Republican, I'd want that guy to jump back in.

Betty Montgomery would have been the best choice but she couldnt be talked into it.

From what little I've read on this topic, Ben seems to be right. Everyone says Betty Montgomery will not run.

I think Petro would make it a very competitve race. I would think his statewide ID recognition would be higher than Cordray, though in this case that may not be an advantage.

We dont have much of a chance with any other candidate.
