KBO, Ohio Repubs!
"Keep buggering on!" was the motto of a truly great man. I'm trying to adopt his motto this election year as a Republican volunteer in the Buckeye State.
I'm resigning myself to the cold hard fact that Ken Blackwell is in trouble. He's still got a chance, but the latest poll average is not good. I thought the SurveyUSA must be off, but the latest one from CBS is no better. Another thing that isn't good is that Ohioans don't seem to be locked in to the values aspect of this race. Instead it's the slumping Ohio economy and the beleagured Taft administration. Strickland doesn't seem to have answers, but the vague "time for a change" which helped Clinton against Bush 41 seems to be catching on fro those polled.
That would explain why we're seeing economically-focused ads like this one with Rudy. Not a bad ad....
...and I agree that the man has got the economic chops. When he really shines though is when he gets to talk about moral principles.
But the fat lady hasn't even tuned up yet and this man is one heck of a campaigner. And he's not going to quit until the end. The ground war hasn't begun, and when it does "we'll fight them in the farms and in the cities" of this great state. KBO: Ken Blackwell for Ohio, Keep Buggering On!

Maybe Ken Blackwell will not be elected, at least you will not have Jerry Springer representing Ohio. What schmuck thought he would be good for Ohio?
Yeah, I know... well Mayor of Cincinnati is as far as that idiot got. He was a high power lawyer there; I'm sure that comes as a huge surprise.
Well, Ken was in town tonight with Dennis Prager and Hugh Hewitt. I couldn't make it; I was scrapping away at 120 phone calls for the Ohio GOP. I heard Ken's address the audience on the way home on 1402 WHK I'm hoping the audio ends up on radioblogger -- some of Hugh's stuff does. It was a great speech about first priciples & values. (Personally I think the word "principles" is better than "values" but that is another whole story.)
