In case any of the media missed it, the press packets for those covering Ohio’s delegation to the GOP presidential convention included a Columbus Dispatch article touting the recovery of Ohio’s economy and crediting it to John Kasich. And in case they missed the latest poll by the Dispatch, Senate candidate John Mandel was happy to tell them — and the entire Ohio delegation — about it.
As wind whipped through, but rain held off, Mandel addressed the opening brunch for the Ohio delegation with an introduction from
national conservative standard-bearer Bill Kristol.
Mandel pointed to a poll showing he and incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown are in a dead heat. He also claimed Brown has outspent hims, roughly $15 million to $11 million.
That bottom line does not take into account the super PAC money that has gone into making Ohio’s Senate race one of the most expensive in the history of the United States. There, Mandel supporters have a decided edge — about 5-1.

John Mandel. This is the person I want representing me. Sherrod Brown is an ultra Liberal representing a moderate to conservative leaning state. Yes, we have our Leftist– how do you think “Moon Man” Kucinich got elected? But overall, we are moderates with a conservative tilt. Send Brown to California come November. Tell him to wear some flowers in his hair. Give him Pelosi’s address and tell him she’s looking for a House Boy! Or, tell him Harry needs a gardener at his place in the $3000.00 a week Ritz – Carlton. Wait a minute– that can’t be right! Even at that discounted rate, that’s um– lessee here– carry the 3, uh– that’s $156,000.00 a year plus taxes and meals. How can he do that on $193,400.00 a year? Is his Nevada home a camper trailer?
