Dispatch:
......Democrats lead in 11 of 12 prospective presidential matchups in this key battleground state, a new Quinnipiac Poll shows.
Leading the pack is New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has jumped to a 7-point lead over her nearest competitor, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliani.....
......But at this point it almost doesn't matter which Dem wins the nomination, because they all top virtually every GOP comer: Giuliani, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, Arizona Sen. John McCain or former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney....
It is apparent that the Republican corruption scandals of the last few years have left Ohioans with a sour taste with regard to the GOP. Many Ohioans are just tired of the money grubbing, scandal-prone, job-destroying Republicans and are staying away from the party that brought us 'Coingate' and Bob Ney and Bob Taft and ethics problems. Ohioans love Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland (he has a 54% approval rate among Republicans!) and are looking forward to better days.
