Here’s a look at what some had to say about the testy debate between Republican Mike DeWine and Democrat Richard Cordray:
So @MikeDeWine actually started out on top IMO in terms of charisma. I feel like he's lost his footing and just taking ad hominem shots at @RichCordray. By contrast, Cordray's gained and has been good about sticking to concrete examples of how he is good. #OHGovDebate #OHGov

What we learned at tonight’s debate about @RichCordray: he has not visited Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio’s largest single site employer, since he was State Treasurer, nearly a decade ago. Just another reason the Dayton area can’t afford him as governor. #OHGovDebate

Mike DeWine tonight was poised, focused, thoughtful and exemplified the leader Ohio needs to continue growth for all. #OHGovDebate #DeWine clear winner! pic.twitter.com/l9ZfskRXyE

Still in the afterglow from the first #ohgovdebate. Our man @RichCordray did NOT get into this campaign to screw around.

This pretty well captures the tone of the #OHGovDebate. Frankly, I hadn't expected the candidates to be so combative. My sense was that DeWine may not have expected it either. https://t.co/5nyFGEbreK

I have to say the #Cordray side at this rally is way more fun than the #DeWine side. #OHGov #OHGovDebate pic.twitter.com/9g6TrS7TP1

FACT: @MikeDeWine is not on the side of workers. DeWine has repeatedly opposed giving Ohioans a much-needed raise. #OHGov #OHGovDebate pic.twitter.com/wKbJPjFSLe

.@RichCordray is a Marshall scholar, five-time Jeopardy champion, and gladiator for the working class. What is DeWine thinking trying to debate this man? #OHGovDebate pic.twitter.com/dxtYPZvlP2
