Blackwell Takes GOP Nomination For Ohio Governor
Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell won the GOP nomination for
Governor of Ohio yesterday, with a margin of about 55% to 45% for Jim
Petro.
Ohio Republicans have been betrayed by the current Governor, Bob Taft, who has taxed everything that isn't nailed down, (And a few things that are!) like drycleaning and dog grooming. Now, before you wonder, this is a special "services" tax, above the sales tax.
Taft has also had a hard year with scandals. Jerk. At least if I'd have voted for the Dem the last time around, I'd have seen it coming...
Within the GOP gubernatorial primary, there was a lot of mud-slinging by Petro, which I think led to his defeat; folks are just sick of that stuff!
Ted Strickland won the Democratic nomination. On to November...
