I wonder if Boehner has any clout that he can lend to Romney. Does the Speaker have coattails?

Republican Governor,John Kasich has the best coattails for Romney/Ryan.

Boehner represents one district in Ohio, even though he’s Speaker.

That said, I haven’t seen any polling on Boehner’s standing in the state. Doubt they would poll on that specific question.

Ohio has several Republican office holders statewide, and you can bet they are helping Romney/Ryan in every possible way. Kasich is Governor and Portman is one of the two Senators.

Have also read that State Treasurer Josh Mandel (ex-Marine) who’s running for the other Senate seat is very popular and may be helping draw people out to vote for him who will also vote Romney/Ryan.

Ryan was picked, in part, with Ohio in mind as well as Wisconsin. Everywhere in Ohio Ryan goes he mentions that he attended Miami of Ohio University and got his degree there. LOL

Their strategy is aimed strongly at the Upper Midwest, of which both Wisconsin and Ohio are part.

Boehner has no clout beyind his own district. Before becoming Speaker he was basically unknown and uncared about. He's marginally better known now but still nobody really cares. He is never interviewed on talk shows or news programs in Ohio.

Kasich will be an asset to Romney in Ohio, as will Ryan, who went to college here.

Boehner’s district is already conservative.

They're too tear-soaked to be of much use.
