If the people of southern Ohio wont come out for Strickland, they aren't for Hillary either.
Very true. They have lost a lot of jobs there...I was looking into moving there few years ago...never did though.
Much of the unemployment and poverty is in the SE area of Ohio where Strickland is fairly popular having represented the area in the US House in the 1990s and early 2000s.
His problems stem from working for an anti-gun lobby after being a pro gun democrat and his record as governor.

It depends where in southern Ohio. Southern Ohio counties haven't gone majority Democrat since 1964. Some of the central and southeastern counties went for the Democrat as recently as 1996, but even Obama only managed a handful of couties in all of the southern half of the state- Hamilton (Cincinnati), Montgomery (Dayton) and Athens, which has a large college town. Simply put, these counties weren't going for Clinton, anyway. They ultimately don't matter, though, because it comes down to the most populated counties. Those counties are overwhelming Democratic. Obama won in 2008/2012 even with the majority of Ohio's counties going Republican. Basically, for a Republican to win Ohio at this point, you would need to low Democratic turnout in heavily populated areas, and heavy Republican turnout everywhere. Somehow, I just don't see that happening. Democrats are motivated like never before.

Was popular. Not now with the loss of jobs over the war on coal.

Ohio has had below average or average unemployment for a long time now and it has recovered all the recession jobs losses. It's doing okay.
