Turning points?

Speaking to reporters in Cleveland this morning, Sen.-elect Sherrod Brown said there were two turning points in his race against two-term Republican Sen. Mike DeWine that he thinks helped him win.

The first was when he and his wife, Connie Schultz, a Pulitzer prize winning columnist for The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer, decided that they were going to run on progressive values, progressive issues and fighting for the middle class - and that they wouldn't back down.

The second was tactical, when DeWine ran a TV ad in which he attacked Brown's stance on national security by showing an image of the burning twin towers from Sept. 11, 2001. The only problem - The burning twin towers was a doctored image, not video from the actual terrorist attack.

"At that point, a lot of you in the media began to question a lot of the things he did," Brown said.
