Blackwell owned Diebold stock - Can you say Conflict of Interest?
It has been disclosed that Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell owned stock in Diebold. He is currently Ohio Secretary of State, the cabinet post that oversees the state's elections.

Like other Republicans, he pled ignorance to owning the stock. However, he sold the last shares he owned just before the campaign deadline in which he disclosed his finances.

This guy has the ethics and morals of a jackal. He chaired the Bush/Cheney campaign in Ohio, another conflict. And now this.

And he wants to be our governor?

Geez!

But then again, look at who he's had for role models for the past 16 years.

4. Yeah, but he bought it "accidentally."
And I "accidentally" got drunk last night too.
