A shot from “Rome,” one of HBO’s better series.
From LS
Ohio has no good choices to run against Sherrod Brown, who is an easy target. One guy, Frank LaRosa, is a pro-Uke, open-borders guy, while Bernie Moreno is a gun grabber. Vivek and Don, Jr. went with Moreno. Like I say, no good choices and even with a big Trump win there, my guess is that Brown holds on again.

Sherrod Browns campaign manager was my neighbor in Ohio. A really decent guy but unfortunately a Democrat. He n his parents were probably 1000 yards from me. A large home on 20 acres surrounded by and contiguous to National park.
His mom was a township trustee and really did a wonderful job for the 20 years she served. My friend John and I helped her campaign and went to her place afterward n brought a couple bottles of champagne to watch the results. Just 5 of us. Mom, dad, son Jeff and John and I. She just died a few months ago. We shared interest in horticulture and other interests
Jeff and Sherrod knew each other from college I guess. Jeff an only child lived at home for undergrad n law school. He eventually married a dentist and they now have one grown son.
Sherrod is married to a journalist Connie with the Cleveland Plain Dealer
My small neighborhood had a couple of we GOPs but mostly Rats
