No, I doubt it. Portman's just not as vulnerable as people thought. I'm not even sure Tim Ryan could have taken him down.
Yes he was, Strickland simply blew it.
Just curious, but what's going on in-state/how is he a bad candidate? I haven't picked up much other than the fact that he is, but I'm 1/3 of the way across the country.
He's going a bit senile and saying a lot of stupid stuff, he's had weak fundraising, and he's been doing a lot of pretty transparent anti-Asian race-baiting.
Yeesh. Well, that'll do it.
Shame, I still hope he wins. The party needs more paleo-dems.
