‘Incredible turnout’ for Brown’s visit

From Daily Kent Stater:

Congressman Sherrod Brown, a Democratic candidate for U.S. senator, spoke to a crowd of about 50 students Friday as part of his statewide Road to Change campaign tour.

...In regard to the 2006 election, Brown, who is running against Republican Sen. Mike DeWine, said the senate race in Ohio will be the most watched race in the country because of the great deal at stake.

"This race may determine which party will be the majority in the senate," he said.

A Democratic majority in the senate would have an extremely different approval process of important issues such as the War in Iraq and how the national government spends public money, Brown said.

"It could also dramatically change the dynamic of the 2008 presidential election," he said.

The day after Election Day, Brown said he foresees two major headlines gracing the front page of newspapers across the country.

"Newspapers from the Los Angeles Times to The New York Times will read 'Democrats take the House and Senate,'" he said. "And 'Ohio is finally a blue state.'"

...Katie Hale, sophomore political science major, said she was excited to have Brown here for the second time this semester. She said he is a strong democrat, which is exactly what the party needs to win.
