Good news for now, this is THE most important Senate race of the 2012 cycle, if Mandel beats Brown, Romney beats Obama in Ohio, giving Romney much easier paths to 270 EVs.
The Senate seat, control of the Senate, and control of the Executive are balancing on this race, and both sides know it.
It’s going to be a wild ride.
Isn't it the other way around? The presidential candidate usually attracts votes to the candidates lower down on his party's ticket. At least that's the old traditional wisdom.
