The best way to ensure a Sherrod Brown senate defeat.

[SnowLabrador]

Has he ever shown any interest in the Presidency?

he came to New Hampshire awhile back. that's about it as far as I know.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

He is trash. Typical moderate Republican crying about same sex marriage because of his gay son but then turns around and votes to cut money from the education budget. F**" him.

[Cassandra]

Throwback candidate.

Portman is too old-fashioned, too moderate for the GOP.

"Too moderate".

He may not be Jim Jordan, but he's not a Susan Collins either. From what I know Portman is pretty conservative.

yeah he's pretty conservative, he just has that moderate personality/look that swing voters seem to really dig. He's also a workhorse in the senate, which you don't see with ideologues.

What I'm trying to say is you can't compare him to Susan Collins or Brian Fitzpatrick. He'd be a viable candidate. Conservative enough for the primaries, but not an ideologue who'd struggle in the general.
