I'm hoping that a combination of Brown's politics and personality will carry the day. But you can be sure, the Koch's will be here fast, furious, and early. Remember, the first place they spent money in the 2016 senate races was to support Portman. I think they see him as their 2020 choice (or at least did in Summer 2012). They hate Brown and will want to have their way in Ohio.

But Mandel - snipe.
