Our Revolution candidate destroyed in most high profile race so far - Ohio Gov.

This is a race they should have outperformed. Kucinich has a very high name recognition nationwide let alone in his home state. Instead here are the results:

Democratic Richard Cordray 423,264 62.3%
Democratic Dennis Kucinich 155,694 22.9%

Looks like Our Revolution is a fizzle. And that's a good thing.
