POWELL, Ohio — A small group of Ohioans gathered last Friday morning at the former restaurant-turned-Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Powell, Ohio, a small suburban town some 18 miles north of Columbus, to hear Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown speak alongside local voters in a late-campaign press conference to call out controversial abortion comments made by his challenger, luxury car dealer Bernie Moreno.
The speakers — two central Ohio Republican voters and one Independent — addressed the handful of attendees huddled by the farthest wall from the studio's entrance around the stone brick fireplace and a black podium outfitted with a "Bernie Moreno thinks he knows better than Ohioans" sign.
