Campaign Diary: Ohio: 6

June 17, 2006

Overview

Whatever the outcome in Ohio's Sixth District, any mention of Democrat Charlie Wilson's name will probably include reference to a starting-gate blunder that nearly cost him the election and placed his race on the GOP's target list. Wilson failed to secure the 50 signatures required to place his name on the primary ballot and had to run as a write-in candidate against two weak contenders. After winning that contest handily, he faces Republican state Rep. Chuck Blasdel in the general election. Despite the early fumble by Wilson's camp, Blasdel has much work ahead of him if he hopes to move to Washington. Since the primary, pollsters have given a solid advantage to Wilson.
