WaPo on Senate Race

Interesting article in Sunday’s WaPo.

One snippet I found particularly interesting:

Brown, who contends his voting record is “right in the mainstream of Ohio,” predicted an intense Democratic grass-roots effort and “a lot of passion on our side that you won’t see on their side.”

I don’t disagree with the passion. I’m just not so sure how much of it will be filling the sails of Brown after the “Hackett incident”…and don’t give me the old line about only bloggers talking about this - that’s pie in the sky.

If you look at the Columbus Dispatch poll where the Senate primary has Brown getting 54% of the votes, Keiser 4% (who are those people?) but there is a wopping 42% undecideds, this suggest one of two things.

Either Brown’s name is NOT gold as Redfern says and a vast majority of Dems do not know who the hell he is and/or the residual effects of the Hackett fiasco where voters are a little upset upon what went down thus are not sold on Brown.

It is probably a combination of both.

What were the undecideds when Hackett was in the race? Come November, 95% of Ohio won’t remember who Paul Hackett was or what he stood for. Remember Carol Moseley Braun’s positions? Me neither.

Are you serious that people won’t remember who Paul Hackett is?

I think someone has been smoking the crack pipe.

Strickland’s got about the same % of undecideds as Sherrod does. He’s facing token opposition, too. Does that mean Strickland is facing a crisis? No. Notice how DeWine is facing 30%+ undecideds? What does all this mean? It means that a hell of a lot of people aren’t paying attention yet.

How’s the weather in California, btw?
