OUR ONLY HOPE
'The Hill', which is a very respected organization when it comes to national politics, recently interviewed Craig Foltin, who is running congress in my 13th Ohio Congressional district. As this good article illustrates, Foltin is facing an uphill battle as the 13th district is overwhelmingly Democratic. Sherrod Brown has been our congressman for 14 years now, and has watched this part of the state erode, while doing nothing about. While Foltin is a Republican, he was able to win the job of Mayor in the city of Lorain, a feat that was deemed impossible.
He is respected there and had done alot to better that struggling community. Many Republicans, including myself, see Foltin as an opportunity for the GOP to pick up a much needed spot in congress this year. Foltin is not the most conservative of Republicans, but still will serve our party well if elected. Recent polls show him down to his Democratic challenger Betty Sutton by double-digit margins. But with more than three months left until election day, anything can happen. I hope you will all read this article, because it is very informative and well written.

Survey USA Poll : Sutton Comfortably Ahead in OH-13
I haven't seen the crosstabs yet, but Ohio 13 looks to be Betty Sutton's race to lose. WKYC (Cleveland) commissioned the Survey USA Poll of 404 Likely Voters which gives Sutton a substantial 48% to 30% lead over Craig Foltin. 16% are undecided.
There's really not much to analyze at this point. It's still only July. Polls this wide can close in a heartbeat, but there's no reason to think it won't hold through Labor Day. Once the ad wars start anything can happen, but an 18 point lead is a good thing to have at this stage in the game.
from june 21
And in Ohio, Dems appear to be well positioned to hold onto the 13th district seat, made vacant when Sherrod Brown (D) became a Senate candidate. According to an internal poll conducted for former state Rep. Betty Sutton (D), the Dem has a comfortable lead over Lorain Mayor Craig Foltin (R), 58% to 27%. The survey also showed independent voters favored Sutton by a 48% to 23% margin.
