Sutton And Ganley Focus On Job Creation

Betty Sutton and Tom Ganley are running for Congress in Ohio's 13th District. It's the kind of district drawn for Democrats encompassing the industrial cities of Lorain and Akron, and the blue-hued smaller towns and suburbs in between. So before the recession, Democrat Sutton was expected to be re-elected by a comfortable margin. But concerns about the economy -- and Ganley's willingness to pour millions of dollars of his own money into the race -- have goosed Democrats and their allies to take the contest seriously. For Ohio Public Radio, WKSU's Tim Rudell reports on the race that conventional wisdom said wouldn't be one.
