Democrats surrendering in Ohio Senate race
AP ^ | Aug. 30, 2016

August 30, 2016 - A leading Democratic political action committee is canceling ad buys in the Ohio Senate race. It's the second major group to do so as Democrats increasingly appear to be losing hope of winning back the key state.

The Senate Majority PAC has already spent about $10 million in Ohio on behalf of former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland, his single biggest source of outside support. Now the group is canceling large buys that were set to run the second week of September. That's according to an official with knowledge of the developments who requested anonymity because the information was not public.

At the very least it's a victory for conservatism and bodes well for November.

Probably unrelated. Portman has been polling better than Trump in Ohio for a while. The state is still very winnable for Trump but it could be Portman's coattails bring Trump across the finish line rather than the other way around.

Don’t worry. Dims will probably take Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Hampshire. I just hope we end up with at least a 51-49 majority.....it will probably be tied with the VP deciding...that would be awful.

I like this AP news, for a change. We have been inundated with polling sites and internet sites I have never heard of just for a morsel of good news. Yawn.

This is a very good post. Thanks for hunting it down.

Considering it's not even September, the internal polling must be really bad.

I hope so, but I have two co workers who are super conservative and say they will not vote for Trump although they are voting down ticket. I am doing my best to convince them. One of them is a die hard Glenn Beck fan!! God help me!!!

They are saying that about Georgia as well.

I will vote for Trump, but I will NOT vote for any republican after that PERIOD.

My best friend works at a bank. She said many libs there refuse to vote for Hillary and are going to vote for Trump. She also told me it’s being said at the bank that around election time, the housing market will tank by some 20% and the economy will weaken.

Strickland never had a chance, Portman is unspectacular but waging an effective campaign and will hold the seat for the gop. I guess that means it's good for Trump. It certainly is not bad news.
