Portman used to win his congressional district handily — a district that has produced nailbiter wins for Jean Schmidt the last elections. He’s a personable, commonsense conservative that doesn’t fit the bogeyman image the media likes to present to the public.
Is he “wrong” on a couple of issues? Probably. But a lot of people around here need to learn that the perfect is the enemy of the possible.
I agree. Portman is not perfect, but he is closer to perfection than most of them.
I like DeMint and a few others more, but Portman is certainly towards the top of the good guy list.
