This coming November will be serious decision time for many voters in the First Congressional District.
In the November 2006 General Election, Steve Chabot received 53% of the vote to regain his seat. In the race for State Representative, Steve Driehaus received 67% of the vote to regain his seat. What that means is that out of all the voters who had both Chabot and Driehaus on their ballot, at least 14% of them cast their ballots for BOTH candidates.
Both campaigns are sure to be targeting those voters in the upcoming months.

I think that this is Driehaus' race to loose. Chabot, who was running for his 7th term in congress, barely held on to his seat with 53% of the vote against a Democrat from the city. Driehaus is a popular Democrat in the west side suburbs; he can increase Democratic votes in the suburbs while continuing to carry city precincts.
Your math is not correct. 67% of the people in the small area that driehaus represented in the state house voted for him, where 53% of the larger OH District 1 voted for Chabot. I would assume more than 53% of dreihaus' state district voted for Chabot.
dreihaus only received 57% of the democrat vote in the March primary and he was unopposed. That means 43% don't think he would be a good choice. Steve Chabot received 87% of his party's votes.
