Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has a bill on his desk that would protect children in the state from dangerous medical interventions in service to sex changes.

Former U.S. House Speaker and conservative movement hero Newt Gingrich Tuesday announced his support for Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell.

Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell holds a double-digit lead in Ohio’s GOP gubernatorial primary race in the first Dispatch Poll before the May 2 election. While Attorney General Jim Petro trails by 11 points, nearly a third of Republican voters remain undecided. That means Petro must win two out of every three of those uncommitted voters just to draw even as the candidates fire up their TV ad war over the final five weeks of the campaign. Blackwell’s margin might help explain his decisions not to debate Petro and to limit media access. The front-runner will face a crucial...

Betty Montgomery drops out of Ohio race for governor 6:16 p.m. Sandy Theis Plain Dealer Bureau Chief Columbus -A shortage of money and moderate voters persuaded Auditor Betty Montgomery to drop out of the Republican primary for governor and try to regain her old job of Ohio Attorney General, sources said.

Campaign spokesman Mark Weaver would not confirm or deny her entry into the race for attorney general, saying only that she plans...

State Auditor Betty D. Montgomery peddled a novel idea to The Dispatch editorial board the other day. She said that the next Ohio governor ought to govern. That means coming up with innovative ideas, proposing real solutions, making hard choices, and then having the heft to enact and enforce them. "What you need is a backbone, a veto pen and some leadership - that's what representative democracy is all about," Montgomery said. No profundity in that observation, but still she put her finger on a simple, emerging truth: Ohioans are craving a strong leader more than at any time in...

Confusion at Colorado College Posted: September 4, 20021:00 a.m. Eastern © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com On Sept. 12, the second day of the second year of America's war on terror, Colorado College will host a symposium titled: "September 11: One Year Later." The symposium may not yield much insight into the war, but it tells us all a great deal about the moral confusion that dominates this campus and, I suspect, hundreds of others. As the first speaker on the first day of the conference – the "keynote speaker" according to the college – Colorado College has selected Hanan Ashrawi, a longtime spokeswoman for...
