OH-SEN: Strickland vs. Portman: Who wins this matchup?

[Senator Cris]

OH and Va haven't moved right at all; neither has CO. Dems have 263 electors banked in, with NV and NM. CO, Va and OH are bellwethers.

2012 shows that Va or Oh aren't Lean GOP states at Federal level, more at state level.😄

What's the link between this and the OHIO SENATE RACE?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Strickland is pro 2nd Amendment; & so are Portman; Toomey & Casey & Mark Warner. In bible belt part of Hamilton cnty; Pittsburgh and Richmond areas, so are they.

And if Clinton actually wins OH or Va; dont be surprised Strickland will be senator-elect. DeWine was ahead until Sept of 2006; and he too lost to a more liberal version of Strickland, Brown.

Was Brown an experienced and energetic young congressman or a tired failed Governor?

Honestly, comparing 2006 to 2016 is as bad as comparing 2014 to 2016 - both were wave years. 2016, meanwhile, is fairly close.

Portman, but hoping for Strickland.

Brown was behind in every poll and Cook had DeWine favored. Oh will get Dems tp 270 just as much as CO and Va will.  STRICKLAND wont go down eaay. It doesn't have to be a wave in order for him to win.
