While Democrats were celebrating victory over several friends of John Kasich this week, one number they failed to mention in any of their celebration press releases was the very poor turnout for urban elections across the state. Reports from Toledo estimate the official turnout at around 20 percent, while in Dayton, the number of voters dropped from 29,750 in the last mayoral election, to just 16,120 in this week's election.

Will low voter turnout in cities like Dayton, Cincinnati and Toledo, coupled with the new "compassionate conservative" theme that John Kasich has rolled out with his decision to expand Medicaid in the state, lead to a win over unknown Ed Fitzgerald and possibly bigger political ambitions for Kasich?
