My politics are more pragmatic than partisan, which is why I found this news from my home state encouraging:

In Final Weeks, G.O.P. Focuses on Best Bets

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 — Senior Republican leaders have concluded that Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio, a pivotal state in this year’s fierce midterm election battles, is likely to be heading for defeat and are moving to reduce financial support for his race and divert party money to other embattled Republican senators, party officials said.

Although I do not have anything in particular against Mike DeWine, the current Republican-dominated government has not handled its responsibilities well; so it is time for a change. Although I have my doubts about whether Ohio will actually elect a Democrat to national office (I think John Glenn was the last nationally known Democrat from Ohio), I would be glad to see that change come about. The fact that Ted Strickland seems to be enjoying a significant lead over J. Kenneth Blackwell in the governor’s race also seems to bode well.

Perhaps there is still time to shower a bit of money on DeWine’s opponent, Sherrod Brown.
