Campaign
In 2006, U.S. Representative Sherrod Brown defeated two-term incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Mike DeWine 56%-44% 2006 election . Over the next six years, he established a very liberal, progressive, and populist record. The National Journal named Brown the most liberal U.S. Senator in the past two years.[ 27] The Washington Post called him a "modern-day Paul Wellstone ." One article said "Brown is way to the left of Ohio in general, but probably the only person who could outwork Brown is Portman ."[ 28] Brown is the only candidate the 60 Plus Association targeted in the 2012 election cycle.[ 29]
Mandel, 34, was elected state treasurer in 2010. Before that, he was a Lyndhurst City Councilman and Ohio State Representative. He was criticized as Ohio Treasurer for not fulfilling his pledge to serve a four-year term and for not attending any of the Board of Deposit monthly meetings.[ 30] However, Mandel raised a lot of money. He was called a rising star in the Republican Party and was called "the rock star of the party." He was also compared to Marco Rubio .[ 31]
Mandel's campaign was singled out by the independent fact-checking group Politifact for its "casual relationship with the truth" and its tendency to "double down" after inaccuracies were pointed out. The fact-checking group wrote: "For all the gifts Mandel has, from his compelling personal narrative as an Iraq war veteran to a well-oiled fundraising machine, whoppers are fast becoming a calling card of his candidacy."[ 32]
Mandel raised $7.2 million through the first quarter of 2012. He had $5.3 million cash on hand, trailing Brown's $6.3 million.[ 33] However, Mandel benefited from massive support from conservative out-of-state superPACs , which raise unlimited amounts of money from anonymous donors. These outside groups, including Crossroads GPS , aired over $60 million in TV advertising supporting Mandel and attacking Brown,[ 34] outspending Democratically aligned outside groups by more than five-to-one.[ 35] Mandel's campaign was aided by over $1 million spent primarily on attack ads by a 501(c)(4) organization called the Government Integrity Fund. The group was funded by anonymous donors and run by lobbyist Tom Norris of Columbus, Ohio -based Cap Square Solutions.[ 36]
Endorsements
Brown was endorsed by the Cleveland Plain Dealer ,[ 37] the Columbus Dispatch ,[ 38] the Toledo Blade ,[ 39] the Youngstown Vindicator ,[ 40] The Cincinnati Enquirer ,[ 41] and the Akron Beacon-Journal .[ 42]
Mandel was endorsed by the Warren Tribune-Chronicle [ 43] and the Marietta Times.[ 44]
