I would give anything to see someone like Ken Blackwell or Mike Steele as president in my lifetime. Imaging the horror the Dems would experience to see a black conservative Republican as president! For Blackwell to be governor of a major state like Ohio would be enough of a jolt to them.
I think Blackwell has a damn good shot at winning in 2006 as long as he makes it through the primary. He can win the general against any Ohio Democrat, but I worry Petro might beat him in the primaries.
