A good article, especially coming from the Beak-Ed Urinal, er, Beacon Journal.

After Petro's announcement, Ohioans for Concealed Carry promptly endorsed Blackwell.

LOL!! Didn't work too well for Petro, did it?

Glad to hear it! Right now, I can't volunteer, but I hope to soon.

The ads may have worked to squeeze Montgomery out of the race, but they make it impossible for Petro to suddenly steer back to the center without further fuzzying his identity. The chance to capture Montgomery's supporters and win the primary is probably slipping away.

This guy makes it sound like Petro's all but a goner. Which is fine by me!

I am so ready to have a real conservative in the Governor's mansion right now, I can taste it! Taft has been an embarrassment, and Petro will, no doubt, be more of the same.

Petro just shot himself in the foot!! He needed to distance himself from Taft.
Strickland picked Lee Fisher as his running mate. (Fisher lost to Taft last time.) Two two time state wide election loosers.

I cannot see Strickland getting very far with the losing Fisher as his Lt. Gov. Only but the truest of Dems would vote for him.

No, he won't, cuz he's gonna lose, and Blackwell's gonna win.

Three Black conservatives elected in the same year, in three adjacent states...two of them "blue" states...talk about the Dems having a collective brain hemorrhage!

Me too. I predict Petro comes close, but Blackwell still beats him. Then, Blackwell beats Strickland by a solid 4-6 points.

Sounds great! Wish I could be there, but it's unlikely. Portsmouth's a 5 hour drive for me.
