Sherrod Brown still ahead of DeWine

[OzarkDem]

Rasmussen has him ahead 44 to 41, but they poll conservatively, so the margin is probably 6 points or more.

Watch for the DeWine campaign to turn really ugly. Liddy Dole is acting as DeWine's surrogate, bashing Sherrod and allowing DeWine to stay above the fray. The GOP is obviously going to try to split off women voters. Watch the GOP go really negative against Brown, more than they already have. And watch the Plain Dealer help out all they can.

1. When has the GOP NOT gone negative in recent decades?

2. That's true

I'm sure this campaign will be no exception. It won't help, though with Bush and Taft to drag DeWine down.

3. That's good news

I'm glad to see we're ahead in that race. We can't let up though.
