1. Ohio is over. Portman (R-OH) goes back to DC. Strickland goes back to lobbying.

At some point the state dem party will get the message that reaching for these old farts (i.e. my age) with a lot of perceived baggage (deserved or not) is NOT a winning strategy. I'm amazed that even Sherrod Brown has been invisible in his support for Strickland.

I continue to shake my head in wonderment that the same electorate gives us both Portman and Brown. Of course Brown is such a strong candidate and personality that he might just be carrying his elections in spite of the state dem party rather than because of it.
