Alright, it’s over. Plunderbund, Ohio’s major left-wing blog, has officially declared, and I quote, “This race is over,” referring to the Ohio Senate race. Given that the blog in question takes cheerleading for Democrats to Ministry of Truth levels, there really must be no way to weasel out of this obvious conclusion. Fisher can go back to spending time with his kids:

Portman has now pretty consistently polled at or over 50%. No polling outfit has shown Fisher improving his numbers (the most recent Ohio Poll actually showed Fisher dropping 7 points in his support.) This race is over. I’d challenge anyone to explain to me how this many pollsters could be so wrong, or cite me one case where a candidate polling as Fisher is has turned it around and win this close to the election. Fisher has been talking about his 1990 run for Ohio Attorney General as an example of his come from behind tenacity. However, I’m pretty sure there was not polling in 1990 as bad as this. Regardless, Fisher hopes people haven’t noticed that he used the same arguments in 1994 and again in 1998—he lost both of those races. Lightening only strikes the same place once.
