Senate Democrats Set Aside $7 Million to Back (Ohio's) Sherrod Brown
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Senate Democratic campaign organization has set aside $7 million, intending to use it to help Sherrod Brown win a seat in the Senate. The money will pay for TV ads aimed at persuading voters to elect the Democrat.

Brown is trying to take the job of Senator Mike DeWine, a Republican, in what is expected to be a close race.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee plans to pour a total of $25 million into TV advertising -- with the bulk of the money going toward toppling Republican incumbents in Ohio, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.

2. Democrats need to take into consideration Ohio is probably a lost cause.
Unless they fight the election results.

3. We should probably just vote with a show of hands.

6. lol. Seriously
That would actually reflect the polls better than diebold would that's for sure. It's really too bad, Ohio is. I don't think people are really going to get the picture unless a race is stolen right out of the blue(in contradicting more than 20% in major polls) in a race that's closely watched, such as the strickland one.

4. Election fraud gave Ohio to Bush in 2004
and no matter what the polls say about the Brown-DeWine race, I wouldn't trust those voting machines if my life depended on it.

5. It's such a SHAME
that they are only focusing on a small percentage of campaigns.

We could use some of that money in Texas to defeat Kay Bailey Hutchison.

That seems to be par for the course, wanting to focus on a small fraction of the party and not the WHOLE party.

Whatya gonna do:shrug:
