That really killed us in Ohio last year. We had a VERY conservative candidate for Governor and he got creamed by over 20%

Yeah, and all the GOP ethical problems in Ohio had NOTHING to do with the loss.

Get real.

[You Dirty Rats]

I never said the ethical problems of Taft didn't hurt.

Some people were shocked that a conservative like Blackwell lost by 20% when moderate DeWine lost by 10%. Blackwell is a good conservative and a good man, who would have made a great Governor, but he was not a good campaigner.
