Strickland spent about $330,000 on the air in the final four weeks during the Olympics, and virtually buried Nichol and his populist message.

Strickland started his Senate bid last year with roughly the same name identification level as Allard.
Strickland's surprisingly widespread recognition stemmed from his 1996 campaign against Allard and two years he spent as U.S. attorney following the 1997 shooting at Columbine High School.

In the end, pundits in Washington speculate that the "he said, she said" accusations and calls for corporate responsibility by both candidates will ultimately cancel each other out leaving voters wondering if either can be trusted on the subject and ultimately have no effect at all on the race, Mulvaney told NACS Daily.
