(2,020 posts)These two get votes from people who have no idea that they have worked against the interests of working people their entire careers. Portman helped Bush export American jobs to China and Stivers was a bank lobbyist before he was basically given a nicely gerrymandered district, in order to further enrich his banker friends.
Ted Strickland could still win if the national party and some good donors came up with a couple of really hard hitting ads explaining what a lying weasel Portman is. If the national party does not go after this creep now, they will be facing him in the next presidential contest. I have seen talking heads already promoting Portman as the face of the rebuilt rethug party.
There are tens of thousands of voters that are going to vote for Hillary that have not decided whether to vote for Ted thanks to the millions of dollars of Koch money spent on advertising against Ted. A good late ad buy would swing these people to Ted. They have seen the Koch ads and are just confused since there has been no real ads buys supporting Ted. He would make a good senator.
