Ken Blackwell, an excellent candidate, lost badly following the Taft debacle. I’m sure Taft had a lot to do with it, but it seemed that for his experience, education, and communication ability he should have done much better.
The major culprit were the host of republican candidates and their wars for the nomination. They were all — including Blackwell — flat broke after they fought each other so hard.
I’m sure there’s a lesson in there somewhere.
I am still sad after Ken Blackwell lost.
The man had a 300 page plan for Ohio and Strickland said he would tell us his plan after the election.
Hey, Ted, where’s the plan?
This is the only plan he’s had, and it sucks!

Yes, the lesson is the Ohio Country Club Republicans would rather be in the Minority than have somebody as Governor that wasn’t one of ‘them’.
Ken Blackwell.
