I heard that on Drudge last night. He has good inside sources, including at the NY Times.

One theory is the RNC has given up on Dewine. The other theory is that he has much more money than his opponent and doesn't need the extra money. I don't know what the polls are currently on this race, but my favorite commercial out of all the Ohio races is the one on Marc Dann where it is revealed that he DEFENDS criminals! :oops:

As usual, this is a lie.

The New York Times- We make news...literally.

This type of article is less news and more part of the MSM voter suppression effort.

Guess it wasn't a lie after all.

When your own party deserts you, you're in trouble.

Perhaps if you look at the most recent filings with the Federal Election Commission (through 9/30/06) Brown's campaign had $ 1,209,259 cash on hand and DeWine's campaign has $ 4,503.735, maybe that is why the RNC is reducing the ad buy. It would be hard to justify sending additional money when your candidate has at least a 3 to 1 advantage.

The question really is, does Brown have enough cash to last?

Thanks for the vindication.

Like any organization, the RNC has a finite amount of resources. They can't give unlimited money to every race. They have to pick and choose.

I am wondering why this amount of money is required to host intelligent democracy.

Nearly every campaign commercial I hear or see is uninformative or misinformative. And they play them multiple times an hour. Do people realize they are donating money to this? If you train people to be stupid the odds are you will succeed.

I saw this show called Dancing with the Stars. Jerry Springer is not a good dancer, but the audience kept voting him back in.

If Jerry Springer runs for office, he will be able to win with minimal campaigning. The public refuses to let him lose. Then we won't have to put up with so many campaign commercials.

Brown has stated he has prepaid for much of his advertising, that's why his cash on had is lower than DeWine's.

My guess is that Sherrod Brown will get about 90% of the vote of this board.
