2006-10-29 Home Front: Politix

The Republican National Committee said Thursday it won't run any television ads in Ohio on behalf of Sen. Mike DeWine during the final week of the campaign. RNC spokesman Aaron McLear said the national party organization had reserved time to run statewide TV ads next week as DeWine tries to come back against Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown, who leads in recent polls. But in the end, the RNC decided not to make the purchase, McLear said. National Democrats said it showed the Republicans were giving up on the two-term senator. The Democrats need to win six Republican seats and hold all of theirs to take control of the Senate.

Down by 12 in the RCP average of the latest polls. He's a goner.

#1 Not so sure of that. DeWine's still running lots of ads; he's got buckets of money and can finance his own efforts; the RNC wanted to shift its money to help less well-financed candidates in other states.

#2 Senator De Wine's tag line is, "Sherrod Brown let us down." Representative Brown is depicted as against all war/security measures, for increased taxes and standard Progressive issues. Mr. Wife deems the tag line extremely effective branding. We'll see if he's as clever as I think he is.

#3 I dislike Gang of 14 DeWine...see him as the Olympia Snow of Ohio. On the other hand, Sherrod Brown is a liberal hack of the very worst kind. DeWine gets my vote.

#4 If we have to lose a Republican seat, this is the kind of seat to lose.

#5 DeWine is paying for his participation in the Gang of 14. Opie Graham will also pay in 2008.

The Pubs loose when thay fail to stand for anything and thus begin to look like Dems.
