...The Ohio Democratic Party responded on Mr. Brown's behalf with an ad campaign party leaders said matched Mr. DeWine's nearly $500,000 effort "dollar for dollar."
The spot defends Mr. Brown's security record and, in a nod to Mr. Brown's focus on international trade, criticizes Mr. DeWine for supporting agreements with China its says led to lost jobs and "sensitive military technology.".
It calls Mr. DeWine's use of images from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in his ad "sad" and a "smear."
In a press release, Ohio Democratic chairman Chris Redfern said Mr. DeWine was "exploiting the hallowed ground of 9/11 for his partisan purposes" - even though the Democratic ad says Mr. DeWine was "on the intelligence committee that failed us before 9/11."...

Mr. DeWine's ad scolds U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown (D., Avon) for voting against increased intelligence funding, the Patriot Act, the death penalty for some terrorists, and other security measures.
It references a Web site, www.brownvotes.com, and flashes between pictures of Mr. Brown; terrorist camps; New York City's burning trade towers on Sept. 11, 2001, and the hijackers who slammed airplanes into those towers, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field...

Analysts say Mr. Brown, a Democrat from Avon, will need help from his national party and friends such as organized labor if he hopes to match organization and advertising with Mr. DeWine, a Republican from Cedarville, in Ohio's closely watched Senate election.
Both candidates are due to file finance reports today, and their campaigns offered a preview yesterday.
Mr. DeWine raised more than $2 million last quarter, his staff said, including $750,000 from a suburban Columbus fund-raiser with President Bush and nearly $300,000 from joint fund-raising committees with other Republican candidates...
