It's already Republican Kevin Coughlin vs. Republican John Kasich maybe in the GOP primary for one to be choice by GOP political party members to run next vs. a Democrat, presumably Gov. Ted Strickland, for, yes, governor.


So as noted earlier, it also might be Republican Tom Ganley vs. Republican Rob Portman, and Democrat Jennifer Brunner vs. Democrat Lee Fisher, all for U.S. Senate.

Or at least any hour now we might hear the plans of Ganley, the Northeast Ohio car dealer.

Kevin, John, Tom and who, etc?

For governor so far it's state Rep. Coughlin, R-Cuyahoga Falls, and former Congressman Kasich.

For U.S. Senate, it's NE Ohio car dealer Ganley, former U.S. Rep. Portman, Secretary of State Brunner and Lt. Gov. Fisher.
