A New York Times story claims that internal Republican polls show incumbent Mike DeWine to be far behind in the race to save his senate seat from the Huey Long of Ohio Politics, Sherrod Brown.  The  Times says  the party is building a firewall to protect the states where it can win.  That means moving their chips from DeWine's Ohio campaign to races in Missouri, Tennessee, and Virginia.

In a Beacon Journal story Republican leaders say the Times lies:

SurveyUSA conducted by three Ohio TV stations shows Brown ahead of DeWine 54 percent to 40 percent, with 6 percent undecided.

Jay Cost at Real Clear Politics is suspicious of the Times story too.

The Quinnipiac University poll, out this morning, has Brown ahead 53-41 percent.  You decide.
