Southwest Ohio fought off the blue wave. They poured a ton of money into Pureval's campaign. I think he outspent Chabot 3 to 2 or something. He showed well in Hamilton County but got walloped in the other areas. Wenstrup was supposed to have someone who could give him a race for his money. It wasn't even close. I think he won by 15 or something. While I kept hearing how an upset was possible I noticed I never saw a single TV ad for either of them. I'm not saying there were none, but it was a pretty good indicator to me that this was never going to be a contest.
