"It's an example of the arrogance of power that comes with one-party rule," said Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman, one of two Democrats running in 2006 to succeed Taft, who cannot seek a third term. "It reinforces the need for change in Ohio."

Well, I certainly have been screaming change is needed. That is why I'm backing Blackwell. The RINO's in that state are corrupt. They are the reason Ohio is drifting Leftward. The citizens are left with few other options but to kick out those that are mired in this deceit.

Republicans at the national level had better get behind real Republicans of good character in Ohio. They need to cleanse Ohio of the corruption or it will turn to the Democrats as a last resort.

Right you are, Soul Seeker. The Ohio pubbies are an inbred lot of RINOs who are barely a shade better than the amoral 'Rats. The answer is a swing to the right with candidates like Blackwell. I'm not hopeful right now, but perhaps this crap will splash enough of the old school to make way for better people.

Taft, DeWine, Voinovich and the rest are worthless. And the likes of Strickland, Colemen and their lot is even worse...

Ohio needs a house-cleanin'.

Ohio politicians are more stupid than corrupt. 20 years ago it was democrat gov. dick celeste that got caught up in a 2 billion dollar savings and loan scandal that brought down all the ohio savings and loans. That was when a billion was a lot of money.

At least the republicans have turned a difficult fiscal situation into one where Ohio has an 880 million dollar surplus.

Do you think most of the electorate will distinguish between a RINO like Taft and a true conservative like Blackwell?

This sounds like the GOP snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
