jvikings1 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 The Green Party has a candidate in the race as well. Will she be added? Also, more what-ifs could include Josh Mandel, Ken Blackwell, and Urban Meyer (as an Ohio State fan, I'd love to play as him and win ) for the Republicans as well as Sherrod Brown and Ted Strickland (greatly weakened) for the Democrats.

I'm not sure what the pressing issues are, and all of the current living politicians from there I'm aware of (other than former Speaker Boehner, who it seems you'd have to have a gun at his head to get him to re-enter politics nowadays, judging by the last interview with him) you've already mentioned.

Alto of former blue collar democrats did actually vote Trump, I'll be honest I theorize that if it was Sherrod Brown's seat open in 2016 he would've won. I believe like in the West Virginia a group of people would split party vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean F. Kennedy Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Working on issues and the county positions. After this I will work out the endorsers and add more what if candidates. Looking to add Republican Treasurer Josh Mendel (off) Fmr Sec. Ken Blackwell (off) Rep. Pat Tiberi (off) Mr. Urban Meyer (off) Democrats Fmr Mayor Jay Williams (off) Judge Bill O'Neill (off) Green Constance Newton (on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Boehner would willingly enter politics again. He seems burnt out of being in public service, and has said he's enjoying his retirement like he hasn't enjoyed himself since he was in his '20's.

That's why I have him as an off candidate, I doubt Strickland would run either. Most of them are what if scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the very playthrough I actually played as Kucinich and beat Jon Husted Kucinich/Pillich 51.3% Husted/DeWine 46.6% Newton/Rio's 2.1% I look to release the Beta by Friday.

Sadly, I think Kucinich would lose unless the opponent ends up being proven as corrupt. Ohio seems more Kucinich now than it was 10 years ago.
