Cleveland automobile dealer Tom Ganley (R) is airing a statewide television ad to introduce himself to the primary voters who will decide whether he or former Rep. Rob Portman should be the partys nominee in a key open-seat Senate race next year.
The 60-second ad touts Ganleys business background and takes an anti-Washington tone, with a narrator saying that Ganleys 47-year career of creating jobs and balancing budgets amounts to hard work the Washington politicians dont understand. Ganley speaks only at the end of the ad, in a required disclaimer approving the commercial.
To help create jobs for Ohio, Tom Ganley knows Washington must stop reckless spending, cut taxes for small business, say no to taxpayer-funded bailouts of big business, the narrator says.

I think that Ganley has great potential While I’ll support Portman if he’s the nominee, I think that we need someone with non-establshment, reformist credentials.
Yup, this is about giving people the choice to learn about REAL everyday people who have conservative core values that have done them well in life, and aren’t looking to be politicians forever.
The difference between statesmen like our Founders, and politicians, whose ancestors are leeches.
Sure hope he is not a GMAC government sanctioned dealer.
Portman is the open-border-amnesty-let's keep sanctuary cities-DC Establishment-RINO and Ganley is the Conservative. I'll go with Ganley!
Well I like his views on cutting spending and cutting taxes but if he has had a 47 year career we may want a younger man to run.
Just curious. Is Ganley one of the auto dealers who got whacked by Obama’s deal with the auto unions? If so, he might be HIGHLY motivated to give the administration hell and not be the typical meek, spineless RINO we see too often in Washington.
“I think that Ganley has great potential”
Across the seven-county Cleveland-Akron area, Chrysler said it is closing 14 dealerships. Another big-name dealer, Tom Ganley, lost three stores.
Sorry...I was on the phone and didn’t see your post before I posted #9. Yes he was! He lost 3 dealerships.
I’ve seen a push for Portman on other sites but the more I read, the more I don’t like.
If you think about starting a ping list for this Senate race, please put me on it!
I’m not wild about Portman.
My concern with Ganley is whether he could win in November.
Given the huge undecideds and his deep pockets he clearly has a chance in the primary.
