Soros Group: Blackwell Is No. 1 Target for Democrats

Liberal forces – including a key group backed by George Soros - are saying their No. 1 political target is Ohio's secretary of state, Ken Blackwell.

The Democrats fear that Blackwell, a staunch conservative, will play a key role in winning Ohio for the Republican presidential ticket in 2008 – just as he did in 2004.

And Steve Rosenthal, CEO of the 527 group America Coming Together – a group backed by anti-Bush billionaire George Soros – has called the 2006 Ohio governor's race the most important in the nation.

Here's why:

"He's the guy Republicans love for certifying Ohio's 2004 vote for President Bush. And he's African-American and conservative. 'With him as No. 2, it creates a dream ticket,' said a GOP strategist."

1. Blackwell is a certified criminal.

And Ohio's attorney general is an unindicted co-conspirator for not indicting him.

2. Come on, Soros! "Engage!"

3. Is this not the first we've heard from Soros

since the election?

[Roland99]

4. I've been wondering what he was up to.

I still would love to see him buyout Sinclair! :)

10. They are not saying Soros did anything, just that Moveon/ACT is involved

and according to the rabidright Newsmax, Moveon/ACT is an instrument of Soros.

5. This is a Newsmax propaganda piece, why is it in LBN?

Newsmax calls Moveon an instrument of Soros. Not a grassroots organization but a Soros tool.

7. If that's true, I didn't know it.

6. It's a little late for that, isn't it?

as my old granpa used to say- day late and a dollar short.

I supose it's better than allowing him to become another Katherine Harris....

9. He already on Katherine's level and trying to move up.

It pays a lot to throw an election, you know.

8. They are kidding right?

They also worry that the conservative one-time football player could be a powerful addition to the GOP presidential ticket in 2008.

"The hot 2008 GOP presidential ticket links either Virginia Sen. George Allen or Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour with Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, a 2006 gubernatorial candidate," reports the Web site of U.S. News & World Report.
