Why is it so competitive, 3. 5 months before the election . Think iteve, i mean, i is there are a number of things happening at once. You are seeing a major shift in the suburbs of ohio that a few decades ago or even a year ago, these suburbs outside of cincinnati, columbus, and cleveland, they were the base of the republican party.
