He’s my choice as of now.
Ping.
The time is right for a CONSERVATIVE Republican movement in OH. Strickland is an incompetent idiot. His hand picked AG Marc Dann has resigned in shame, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If Kasich can be persuaded to run for Gov (hopefully the rumors are true) the liberal D’s can be run out of this state.
Is Blackwell for real? We have been fooled so many times.
I really like Michael Steele, but someone said he was for affirmative action and that did it for me. No one for affirmative action is for real; at least, I have found that to be.
He's the real deal, no smoke and mirrors here.
It's wonderful to note that at least two of the contestants dropped out to endorse and work for Ken!
It will be an uphill fight to keep Steele from grabbing the post, however, as he's from the East Coast NY/DC political wing of the party and also a media "star" thanks to FOX.
Had Ken Blackwell been given as much on-air face time, I daresay, he'd be the only one at the top of the heap but then he, like Sara Palin, bucked the "insiders" in his own state party and not from the elitist wing!!!
He knows how to talk to ordinary people, especially in fly-over sections of the country and is easily understood and very likeable with a charming family.
Blackwell is horrible at party-building. He never did a single fund-raiser for a legislator or legislative candidate, even the conservative ones. He would have been a great draw at any of them. After refusing to help a family member in their race for office, he and his campaign staff began a whisper-campaign against said family member when she did not agree to endorse him right away in January 2005. She had a job that prohibited her from making endorsements and was looking for another and was planning to help him. Blackwell and his minions waged a bitter personal campaign against her, even trying to tell the Cincinnati Enquirer that she was a closet lesbian. This included anonymous e-mails and a threatening phone call made by Ken himself to the father of the family member.
Ken Blackwell is a cult leader disguised as a conservative Republican.
You’re either with Ken Blackwell at his demand or you risk being the victim of a smear campaign.
