too haven t paid enough attention, i think, to ohio. i think we don t pay much we attention to it in the past couple of years, yeah. but not so far this year. that s shaping up to be a really good race. a really interesting race. you have the former congressman, as well as the u.s. tape rep, a guy named rob portman running against democrat lee fisher. the problem for fisher, he has lost several communications people. never a good sign. he has a million dollars in the bank. rob portman has $9 million in the bank. you add this to the national environment where the president coming in is not as huge a positive as it was in 2008 and it s a real problem for democrats hoping to hold on to the senate. now that you re here, i m going to make sure you stick around. stay with me and chris cillizza and be sure to follow me online
