Race Summary
Cincinnati Rep. Steve Chabot has faced some tight races since his election in 1994, and this year will be no different. Democrats say state House Minority Whip Steve Driehaus (D) is a much better candidate than 2006 challenger John Cranley, who lost by a 52%-48% margin. Chabot has a maverick reputation, and Driehaus and Democrats' chances at victory might hinge on their ability to tie Chabot to Washington Republicans. The DCCC has yet to invest significant resources in the race.
