That would be the only use for it. TV time is about out of reach for the ‘Rats.

...soldering on through...

As someone that makes stained glass, I hate when I "solder on through." But, if I do, I must soldier on through to the end.

Perhaps this will allow Portman to do his own GOTV effort and push a few promising GOP congressional candidates over the finish line!

Excellent, so this seat is an (R) Hold. Now let’s hope Portman is vastly better than George “the crybaby” Voinovich.

Does he build electronics as a hobby or something?

Voinovich was the ultimate RINO. I'm willing to bet that he is pissed that Portman is taking his seat. Voinovich, as a retiring senator, has done nothingto try to keep his seat in Republican hands. Not one ad. Not one appearance. Not one mailing.

By all accounts this will signal the end of a 'rat political career marked by a total lack of accomplishment or distinction. Lee Fisher has wasted an entire mis-spent life as a do-nothing go-nowhere cipher. His only virtue has been to squander many 'rat dollars on pointless and fruitless candidacies. A,MF.

Agreed. Fisher is the ultimate “hanger-on” who is no doubt eligible to receive benefits from four or five state pensions.

Portman and Ganley are already teaming upm in radio ads. It will provide much needed help for Ganley, a worthy candidate but a novice politician.

Has Ganley shaken the sexual harassment charges?

Whatever his motives, this is probably a good thing. We are better off if Voinovich just slinks away without saying a word.

I will never forgive him for his treatment of Bolton. While he did come around eventually, the damage was done.

Actually, Voinovich and his girly tears did far more damage to himself. He was relegated to the "nutty" wing of the party. We in Ohio saw plenty of his tears here as Governor before he went to the Senate. Bolton's best days are yet to come, IMHO.
