How did Blackwell do so poorly? He's a great guy, and was an outsider of the GOP insiders that have sucked so bad the last decade.
Judging from what I've seen throughout different sites, Blackwell is only viewed as a "great guy" by the right wing of the political spetrum. That's only about 30% of Ohio anymore.
He's is absolutely detested by the left wing and the moderates were given absolutely no reason to vote for him.

Man, it's not looking good for you guys in OH tonight.

I will say it again.
The Republican old guard stabbed Blackwell in the back.
Taft and Voinovich types refused to help Blackwell.
There was no united Republican effort in Ohio to help Blackwell.
