This is the cover story in this week's The Other Paper. It's worth reading the entire story.

‘I have a bet going on with a white Democrat, and his bet is that they can turn more black people against Blackwell than those of us who support him can turn for him,’ (East Cleveland mayor Eric) Brewer said. ‘I told him that I’m going to take that bet because I don’t believe black folks are that stupid.’
***
One of the things the Ohio Democratic Party likes about Ted Strickland is that he isn’t from a big city. Strickland hails from the rural, eastern part of the state, a region that is trending overwhelmingly Republican. After winning big in the cities in ’04 but losing even bigger in small towns and rural areas, Democrats concluded a guy like Strickland could help them compete. The flip side of that, though, is Strickland has little contact with African-American voters. His 6th Congressional district is only 2.4 percent black.
***
State Rep. Dixie Allen of Dayton, a former Democrat who defected to the Republican Party last week, said Blackwell can effectively counter Strickland’s political surrogates with his own religious surrogates. He’s getting a lot of support from black ministers,’ Allen said. She believes support from clergy trumps support from elected officials.
***
At the end of the day, the two big questions for Blackwell are: How much of the black vote can he get, and how much of it does he need? Blackwell spokesman Carlo LoParo said Blackwell got about 20 percent in his first statewide race in 1994, about 30 percent in his next one in 1998 and about 40 percent in 2002. Blackwell won all three elections.

1. I hope that no voters in Ohio are stupid enough to vote for Blackwell

After 2004, who in the correct state of mind would voter fro that crooked slime?
I would invite the mayor of east Cleveland to name one thing Blackwell has done for the black people in the state of Ohio.

2. Here are SOME things he did do TO black Ohioans...

purged them from the voting rolls, consolidated polling places to make it harder for them to vote, coordinated the reduction of voting machines (again, harder to vote) and WILL, if elected governor, put TEL/TABOR into effect as soon as he declares a fiscal emergency, which will hurt EVERY person in this state...hard

He will do NOTHING to help...he is a bought and paid for toadie of neoconservatives who have no patience for black america.

3. here is a flyer to download for black barbar shops, my experience in

'04 I found that the black owned barbar shops are very willing to post on their walls the "smear a republican" flyer. Bring tape to make it easy.
