Moderator Tim Russert gave his take on the current state of the race while visiting Ohio last week.

"If [Democrats] do not carry Ohio, they will not retake control of the U.S. Senate," said Russert. "Both the Democrats and Republicans I talk to privately in Washington believe that Congressman Brown has a slight advantage at this point over Senator DeWine. But they're the first to acknowledge from both parties that outside events could intervene."
