No, he doesn't build huge support outside Cleveland. Second, a Democratic candidate who can build hige support in the cities is the M.O. of the failed Democratic candidates of the 1990s. Like 1994 Lt. Governor Candidate Peter Lawson Jones.
Unfairly or not, I don't think any candidate that directly plugged into Cuyahoga County politics can run statewide while the Cuyahoga County corruption probe is still out there, too. Fisher may be able to escape that as an issue. PLJ? Probably not since he holds county office there. Unfair? You betcha. But I think that's the second biggest knock against PLJ.
