8. There is a decided lack of enthusiasm for FitzGerald's campaign

and, as you say, we need ad strong turnout of Democrats, not only for governor, but for all the down ballot candidates, and there are some good ones.
David Pepper vs Mike DeWine - Pepper - or most anyone- would be better than DeWine.
Connie Pillich is another from SW Ohio, who has a good resume, - military veteran, lawyer, mother, etc. I can't recall her opponent, but know that Connie would be better.

I understand that FitzGerald's funds are being diverted to the Democratic slate in general, so, perhaps we won't be hearing many ads.
It's too bad the Dems have a problem attracting top-notch candidates for the top slots in Ohio, for many of their down-ballot candidates are quite good and deserve to win.

Than goodness Richard Cordrey wound up in a good position in the President's administration.
