Saw Shaft last year at a rally for GW in Cincinnati.
He was literally booed off the stage. The yelling and anger made the secret service nervous...
Blackwell would be a good choice. He differs from Shaft and wants to cut taxes.
Ken Blackwell is an authentic Conservative, and is definitely running for governor. His website is up and his mailings are out. I am contributing now and hope to find an active role in his campaign. He is everything "Shaft"(good one) is not.
The main resistance Blackwell must overcome is the entrenched fatcats in the Ohio GOP establishment--Shafters as it were. But the rank and file of Ohio republicans I truly believe are more conservative than the establishment insiders- Taft, Voinovich, and a few others.
We can take these turkeys in the primary if we get on board now and stay the course. Set Blackwell up for national office in a few more years.
