Right On Cue
From a Rasmussen poll in Ohio:
Overall, 29% of the state's voters agree with Hackett and say he was betrayed by party leaders. Fifteen percent (15%) say he was not, but a majority of voters (55%) have no opinion on the topic. Among Democrats, 31% say he was betrayed and 24% say he was not.

Following Hackett's withdrawal, Republican Senator Mike DeWine has gained ground in his campaign for re-election. DeWine now leads Democratic Congressman Sherrod Brown by nine percentage points, 46% to 37%
Brown has some serious ground to gain while moving to the center politically and defending a voting record in Congress, an uphill challenge for a Democrat (as John Kerry found out).

Lather, rinse, repeat.
