I have a very well placed source that Sherrod Brown has been making phone calls tonight telling key supporters he is in the race for the Ohio US Senate seat. Expect an announcement very soon.
I would think this means Hackett is going to run for something else. While the netroots may love Hackett, as I do, there is no competition with Ohio primary voters. Brown has always been a favorite of Ohio Democrats and he has finally decided to take the next step. Where will Hackett go? A run for AG, maybe a rematch with Schmidt?
