Ohio 18th District - Gibbs vs. Space
Race Analysis
10/24/10 -- This west-central Ohio district is a late addition to the watch list. Zack Space won the district after the GOP Congressman came under indictment and his hand-picked successor crumbled under the weight of a bankruptcy scandal. He won handily in 2008. But he supported most of the big-ticket items on the Democrats' agenda in 2009, and campaign polls are showing the race as being a close one. In the absence of reliable polling, it's tough to know exactly where this one stands.
