OH-06: Wilson Pursuing Write-In Route

Posted by DavidNYC

CQ Politics is reporting that Charlie Wilson will try to win the Democratic primary in OH-06 as a write-in candidate. This is probably the right move for Wilson, though it's merely the best of a bad set of choices. CQ thinks that Wilson "should be able to outpoll" the other two Dems running for the nomination because they are "little-known," but needless to say, write-in candidacies are pretty tricky things to pull off. Wilson should pay a call to DC Mayor Anthony Williams to see how Tony managed it in DC a few years back.

this shouldnt be too hard. IF there was a well known, liberal, but not likely winner of a regular primary because of the nature of the district running, i would say this would be a difficult task. But the other people in this race are complete no names, so this shouldnt be too hard. WIll just cost a little extra money, which in the end probably wont make that much of a differance

He should call me since I did the direct mail for the Williams write-in campaign. It shouldn't be too hard.

Since Charlie Wilson probably isn't reading this blog, maybe you should call him, or his campaign staff?

I will be doing so. Thanks.

It strikes me that even if Wilson pulls this off, he'll be a seriously weakened candidate for the general election. A race where he was otherwise favored will now become a true toss-up, perhaps even advantage-Blasdel.
