I’m counting on Sherrod to run. It’s a big ask but the time is dark.

From what I've read/heard, all signs point to Sherrod running for Governor, not Senate. Which still might give the eventual senate candidate some coattails to ride. But in order to ride them, that candidate will still need to make an aggressive statewide effort of his/her own: a full, statewide media push backed by the funding that such an effort requires. Not sure if the rumored Senate candidates - some state legislators and Congresspeople - fully comprehend what that entails. Running upballot requires a different skill set than running for a local office: fundraising and organization becomes much more important than retail politics and working a crowd. The candidates who get that often find statewide success; the candidates who don't usually top out around 40%.
