Day 1 of the 08 Race

I'm no political expert, but one race that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves is the result in the Ohio gubernatorial election. Any Democrat running for President in 2008 has to find one or two states that went for President Bush in 2000 and 2004 to flip. The electoral vote math doesn't work otherwise. With the big wins by by Ted Strickland and Sherrod Brown yesterday, Ohio's political infrastrucure is now controlled primarily by Democrats, which strikes me as quite significant given how close the last two Presidential races have been there. Just a thought.
