With all this talk of race baiting and racism from people on the left (which I believe is utter bullshit), I want to raise a serious question. Last week in Blue Ohio News, I posted about this flyer that the Blackwell campaign put out: And here is the story that followed: A group of more […]
One issue that will weigh in on Ohio voter’s minds this election season is jobs. Ohio has lost an enormous amount of jobs to outsourcing and the two Senate candidates, Mike DeWine and Sherrod Brown have very differing views of free trade: Akron businessman John Johnston might have had enough.

The American Spectator has an article today, in which they are doing some major cheerleading for Ken Blackwell: First, the conservative blogosphere has justifiably been full this week of reports from Ohio GOP gubernatorial candidate Kenneth Blackwell’s interview with bloggers at the Heritage Foundation.

They must have taken a page right out of the old U.S.A. playbook on democracy: The daily newspaper El Universal reported 10 ballot boxes and a polling station report were found in a garbage dump in a poor neighbourhood on the edge of Mexico City. Activists demonstrated outside offices of the government’s prosecutor for electoral […]
This is turning into a daily event and makes one wonder if they aren’t trying to say “hey computers aren’t safe”: Equipment containing the names and Social Security numbers of about 1.3 million Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corp. borrowers has disappeared, company officials said. There was no evidence the information had been misused, but Texas […]
With 11% of the precincts reporting, Republican Ken Blackwell has a 10 percent lead over challenger Jim Petro. The Democrat primary is not as close. Ted Strickland has a 54% lead over Bryan Flannery.
