Josh Mandel, Sherrod Brown spar at meeting for Plain Dealer endorsement

Source: Cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In their first Northeast Ohio face-off, U.S. Senate candidates Sherrod Brown and Josh Mandel ripped into each other, questioning each other's truthfulness during an endorsement interview Friday at The Plain Dealer offices.

Brown, the Democratic incumbent from Avon, repeatedly called out his Republican opponent for making statements that fact-checkers have found to be false and then repeating those statements after they were exposed.

He then accused Mandel of telling even more falsehoods during their 70-minute interview and questioned whether Mandel knows when he's not telling the truth.

"This is serious business. People don't run for the Senate and act like you do," said Brown, 59. "These are serious issues, these aren't political games to go from one office to another to another and reach your ambitions, but not fight for what matters to people in this state."

is going to happen to Obama. Remember the Oct surprise. They are going to bombard Obama the same way the Mittens did to his buddies in the primary. The trick is for people to see through it. Get mad at what Mittens is doing and vote for Obama.

Every sleazy little weasel from the Young Republicans look and sound alike to me: Lyin' Ryan, Walker, Mandel. Hey, Ohio, look at Wisconsin--you vote for fake accent Mandel, you are going to get what Wisconsin got--it didn't work there, it won't work in Ohio.
