I read many tightly reasoned entries here on Daily Kos but this won't be one of them. This will be a very short entry.
I live in Cincinnati, OH and managed a polling place for the Kerry Campaign (we got over 70%). I am here to tell you that everyone has heard of Paul Hackett and few are familiar with Sherrod Brown.
Don't get me wrong, I'll vote for Brown if he wins the primary, but Hackett will become a Senator and Brown probably won't.
