I still think its Tilt D. It would be tilt R with any of the other statewide republicans
Husted maybe, but otherwise, I don't think so. He's beat DeWine before and would do so again, while Taylor and Yost would be even less of a challenge. Kasich, as you've said, would have some trouble making it through his own party's primary. Portman vs Brown would be a bloodbath, but that obviously isn't happening, and Voinovich is dead, bless his soul.
Brown has to be in top form, but Republicans underestimate his campaign prowess at their own peril.
Underestimating him would be foolish yes, and frankly I hope Republicans overestimate him and put more resources than Necessary to beat him. He's a very good possible Presidential Nom and should be nipped in the bud now before he has a chance to run.
The wife beating allegations would probably sink a presidential nod. Which is why i think he'd never actual run
Sherrod's ex-wife is a family friend and those allegations were exaggerations made as part of a very bitter divorce. They're both over it. Larke Recchie and Sherrod do fundraisers together for Pete's sake.
But they were made. They are in legal documents, and they exist. It's not made up, and it's not baseless since the accusations were made. You can argue he was falsely accused by his ex wife or that they've reconciled their issues, but the claims were made and are out there.
What you're doing right now (or rather trying to do) is pretty disgusting and you should really be ashamed of yourself. Honestly, I thought you were better than this (admittedly a low bar), but I guess not.
Besides, little Josh attempted to bring the issue up in 2012 and it totally failed, with Brown's ex wife even coming out and endorsing brown.
