A measure of Portman’s weakness — with the job situation and business climate in Ohio, he should be blowing their doors off. But the repubbies all line up behind him because — If I hear it again I'll puke — He's paid his dues!

There is another Republican running, auto dealer Tom Ganley. If I lived in Ohio, I’d vote for him.

There aren't many anyone more conservative than Portman.

Met with Portman the other night. He’s being “lined up behind” because a) he’s conservative, b) he was a very good congressman, c) he’s a decent guy, and d) he can win.
