National GOP is giving up on DeWine’s seat, essentially giving the seat to Sherrod Brown.
Senior Republican leaders have concluded that Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio, a pivotal state in this year’s fierce midterm election battles, is likely to be heading for defeat and are moving to reduce financial support for his race and divert party money to other embattled Republican senators, party officials said.
…
The decision about Mr. DeWine’s seat came after recent internal polls showed Mr. DeWine’s Democratic challenger, Representative Brown, jumping to a large lead. Mr. Brown’s surge came despite a barrage of Republican advertisements [...]

Full Story... →Not sure what Adam Brody is doing campaigning with Brown, but if helps get out the youth vote, I’m all for it. Luke Perry, on the other hand, is an Ohio native.
Full Story... →The Ohio 2nd Blog has an excellent recap of Sherrod Brown’s appearance at the University of Dayton, and the attempt by DeWine supporters to ambush him. They failed miserably.
The DeWine supporters came out with guns blazing. Several waited at each mic with questions. The first shot came from the head of the UD Republicans. I don?t remember his name, but Sherrod knew all about him. (One thing that?s a little freaky about Sherrod is how good he is with names and information about people. Several times during the event he started talking about other people there and what [...]

Dear VoteVets.org supporter,
You are incredible! Since we unveiled this ad on Wednesday, which targets George Allen for voting against giving our troops the right body armor, donations have poured in fast and hard. On behalf of my fellow veterans, I thank you.
Reaction has been quick and strong, as well! DailyKos said it was the most compelling ad this cycle. MyDD.com gave it an A+. PoliticsTV said it is a “very well done ad spotlighting the difference between Sen.George Allen’s voting record and his rhetoric.”
You helped us hold accountable those that [...]
Full Story... →VoteVets.org is running an ad against Senator George “Macaca” Allen for voting against an appropriations bill amendment that would have provided National Guard and Reserves troops being deployed with adequate armor and supplies. It’s a powerful, simple ad.
DeWine voted with Allen.

via PD: Drug industry group helped pay for ads backing DeWine and others
Washington – The pharmaceutical industry quietly footed the bill for at least part of a recent multimillion-dollar ad campaign praising lawmakers, including Sen. Mike DeWine of Ohio, who support the new Medicare prescription drug benefit, according to political officials.
You don’t say!
Aides to Rep. Sherrod Brown, the Avon Democrat challenging DeWine for re-election, said it’s logical that PhRMA would help DeWine and other lawmakers.
“Mike DeWine has received [...]
Full Story... →Update: Russell on new DeWine ad – is Mike retarded or drunk?
Well, since Mikey got his ass handed to him with the last attack ad, he has decided to take the weiner route and sit on a porch and tout “bipartisanship”. Has anyone that’s been paying attention noticed any “bipartisanship” lately? I keep remembering vote after vote getting crammed down our throats – the ones that matter at least – complete with middle of the night armtwisting. Bipartisanship’s ass!
Mikey is a Bush puppet, taking embattled Bush fundraising money and voting time after time for the agenda of [...]

The Duality of Max Cleland
When one reads how Max got behind Joe Lieberman – going so far as to let Joe compare himself to Max – you have to then wonder how this jives:
“Because if you don’t get this thing right – you’re spending $8 billion a month in Iraq – you’ll never be able to reinvest in the infrastructure of America,” Cleland said during an interview at a Brown campaign stop in Mansfield on Tuesday morning.
