Reply #129: You willing to put a wager down... I'm a betting women, and I'd bet big

that Brown will not even come close to carrying Ohio.. I'll even give you terms if you like.. Brown isn't the problem, the problem is the people of Ohio, and their preconceived notions of what Liberal means.. Brown already has the label Liberal firmly attached to his backside.. That will not fly in Ohio.. I'd be willing to bet whatever you want.. Brown will lose, and he will lose big.. You stated yourself that Brown has to get above 40% in the "other areas." Go look at the makeup of those areas.. We are talking 75-25 splits to the puke side in many counties.. There is no way that he can get the numbers he needs.. It will never happen.. Go look at the Ohio county stats.. There is no way that it could happen.. No way.. Go look at the county makeups yourself... Be real.. He has not a snowballs chance.. Hey I think it's great that you are supporting him, but your setting yourself up for failure if you don't at least take a glance at reality.. There is no way he can get the votes he needs.. The numbers just aren't there.. That's why everyone is so upset about this.. Hackett had a shot a carrying the moderates, and actually had a shot at winning.. The numbers are not there for Brown..
