Yesterday, February 18, Ken Blackwell and running mate Tom Raga attended the Northeast Hamilton County Republican Club's pancake breakfast. It was hosted in the Sharonville Convention Center and more than 200 Hamilton County Republicans attended. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that with a vote of 103 to 57 (64% to 36%), Ken Blackwell won a straw poll over opponent Jim Petro (who currently under investigation by the FBI for allegedly selling contracts for campaign donations).
