He's smarter than most politicians, he's a true conservative, and I've supported him ever since he was a city councilman in Cincinnati. Blackwell had no chance to win. Besides the GOP scandals in this state, the Ohio GOP treated Blackwell like the enemy because he stood against the party when they were trying to hike taxes and generally act like a bunch of imbeciles. As a result, they blackballed him and threw almost no support to him in his run for governor. The whole thing makes me sick. Then again, Blackwell's campaign staff were incompetent. And I mean that. I've never once thought to work for a political candidate, but I was fully committed to Blackwell. Yet every time a Blackwell campaign team member called, all they wanted was money. I offered to go door-to-door, hand out promotional material, and do anything the campaign needed done. Despite at least a half dozen conversations with Blackwell staff, not only did I get no response to my offers volunteer for the campaign, I didn't even got bumper stickers or yard signs sent to me. Just incompetent. As a result, I never plan on volunteering to help another campaign in the future. I'm done. Even though I fully support Blackwell, I won't offer to volunteer for his campaign again. M.L.,

Ken Blackwell’s a great man. He’s smarter than most politicians, he’s a true conservative, and I’ve supported him ever since he was a city councilman in Cincinnati.

Blackwell had no chance to win. Besides the GOP scandals in this state, the Ohio GOP treated Blackwell like the enemy because he stood against the party when they were trying to hike taxes and generally act like a bunch of imbeciles. As a result, they blackballed him and threw almost no support to him in his run for governor. The whole thing makes me sick.

They're treated like cattle first by their former employer and then by the government! Though I'm not from Ohio, I read Ken Blackwell's book and I believe he had some great ideas to revitalize the state. Too bad that someone with no ideas got elected. I'd like to see a nationwide Christian Non Profit Credit Union created that worked with local churches to 1) teach biblical economics, 2) lead people to Christ, and 3) help them escape pay day loans. Still working on that project! I look forward to reading this again when I have more leisure. Thanks for getting this discussion started.
