1. His wife, Connie Schultz, is a terrific asset, in the manner of Dr. Jill Biden. Ms. Schultz has won a Pulitzer Prize, I believe, as a columnist for the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. She is no longer with that newspaper, but can hold her own in political forums (fora?) and most public speaking occasions.

2. Three Ohio cities, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, are in contention for the host city for the Republican National Convention in 2016. There are only four other cities in the nation still in contention, so that gives Ohio a strong possibility of being the locale for the Republicans. Since Ohio is one of the most important "swing states", Sen Sherrod Brown, an Ohio home-boy, on the Democratic ticket would be a good counter-balance to whatever positives the Republicans would get from having their convention in Ohio.
