Quinnipiac's numbers aren't adding up. They seem to think that OH is as Democratic leaning as NM, and PA is as Republican leaning as AZ. I'll buy that Portman's vulnerable, but even in a Democratic wave, he wouldn't lose by 9 points.

I'm not a big optimistic, but I disagree. The evidence from Ohio is that in a wave, basically ok incumbents can lose by big numbers.

It's all about the name ID at this point. It seems more people know who Strickland is than know who Portman is.

If they haven't gotten to know Portman after five years as an incumbent senator, they will be introduced to him by Strickland's attack ads. This is not a defense of Portman, it's a serious liability.
