The Republican National Committee confirms it will not be on the air in the final week of Mike DeWine's campaign, canceling its ad reservations throughout Ohio.

Aaron McLear, RNC spokesman, says the party will continue its on-the-ground efforts and staff support for Ohio Republicans, and says he understands DeWine has about $2.8 million available for his own commercials.

But no more money for RNC ads as of Tuesday. The party canceled its air time reservations.

You're right, it's my error.

"I thought it was Voinovich who blocked Bolton's vote from getting to the senate.

That's correct....Voinovich is the other RINO we have, but not near as bad as Mr. Peepers-DeWhine

[NeoCaveman]

What the hell is wrong with Ohio republican politiicans. They are almost as bad as the ones in California, assuming you can find a republican politician in calfornia.

They got fat, happy, and corrupt. DeWine was weak but atleast he wasn't a crook.

[OldFriend]

Not much difference between them. What is it with Ohio. Something in the water?

Son lives in Cincinnati. Sure wish he would move away.

Yawn, GSN, just doing the liberal media's bidding as usual.

DeWine pulls it out and you will be crying in your Starbuck's on November 8th.

Flyers with Brown's voting record need to be mailed, handed out in malls, super markets.....everywhere. People like Brown do not belong in our government.

[traditional1]

Well, I'm only ONE vote (unlike the Democrats), so I hope you're right. Ohio went for Bush in 2000 and 2004, but it was close in 2004.....Bob Taft screwed the Republican support into the ground, and that may be the straw that puts us in the blue column this cycle.

[OldFriend]

Nothing compared to Brown. No way.

Ok, I dont know Dewine, is he a pretty good conservative? My thought is he rnc wants to prop up schmucks like Lincoln chafee. RNC left a good conservative flapping in the wind for the senate so the old incombant democrat won in arkansas in 04. I will never donate to the RNC fug'm

[Kewlhand`tek]

doh, I read some of you guys comments on dewine. oh well, my statement still stands on the RNC

[Cricket24]

"DeWine shot himself in the foot with that "gang of 14" thing."

Exactly. Do you think any of these Republicans that most likely will lose have learned anything? I don't think Rick Santorum even knows what is going to hit him. I really hate to see the dems win but some of these guys only have themselves to blame!

[netmilsmom]

Now see, If I were a Dem, I would drive back to my old polling place and vote again.

My dad sat on the voting roles for years after he died. Every year we told them, next time he would still be there.

Bet I'm still registered.

[Prince Charles]

Don't throw good money after bad; use it where the candidate has a chance to win.

And I can't wait until November 8th when you are crying in your Starbuck's, the real big losers in this election cycle is going to be the media for their lies and phony polls do not work anymore.

[jveritas]

Media polls are proved to be lies, we should have learned this after so many election cycles, in particular the last three. I still believe that DeWine will win Ohio.

[BluH2o]

Yeah, and when Voinivich comes up for re-election throw his RINO butt out as well!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Isn't DeWine a RINO? Anyone?
