Blackwell has been declared the winner in the Ohio Republican Governor Primary:
Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell won the GOP nomination for governor Tuesday after campaigning as the best candidate to deliver his party from a year of polical scandals.
With more than half of precincts reporting, Blackwell led Attorney General Jim Petro with 55 percent of the vote.
Incidentally, the Democrat Primary is still a run away. Ted Strickland is still ahead by 56 percent. The Democrats have shown much more unity for their candidate than the Republicans have. This is a great sign for the fall.
