Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown will retain his seat in Congress this November because he is a better politician.

I truly believe Brown is an excellent lawman and Senator, but it's his political savvy that will earn him the right to stay in the Senate for six more years.

He consistently gets in front of cameras on cable news shows on social and spending issues and seems to make all the right moves, or non-moves, against his opponent, Ohio state treasurer Josh Mandel.

Mandel is reaching high with his run for the Senate. His resume, while impressive and stocked with citizenship and honor, such as his service in military, has recently been updated with an FBI investigation regarding campaign contributions.

FBI investigations for campaign spending are a dime a dozen for political figures, but it's never a good thing to be associated with them. The end result can certainly exonerate Mandel form wrong doing, but there must have been something there in the first place, which isn't good for a first time run for the Senate. Those are the tricks reserved for old dogs.

And even more recently, Mandel has been associated with cronyism. The hiring of friends from the service and those persons missing resumes has once again clouded the political landscape with bad weather.

Also recently, Mandel is down six points, 46 - 40, in a poll completed by Quinnipiac University on May 10.

You won't see these continued missteps from Senator Brown. He has too much experience and started with too large a lead in the polls. He's and old dog, yeah, but he'll hunt - and win - the Senate seat again.
