OK, now I KNOW Blackwell is nuts

[Earl from Ohio]

First, the knucklehead gets caught by Marc Dann in an obvious shakedown of ODOT contractors and suppliers. Didn't this guy learn ANYTHING from Coingate? And believe me, I (and many others) WILL be watching when the campaign finance reports come out looking for fishy contributions from this week.I betcha that a LOT of contractors at that meeting made a note to start supporting Strickland...

THEN the mooonbat spends $65,000 of YOUR tax money to hire the Schiavo family's shyster.

This guy really is the Buckeye http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/28/senate.harris.ap/index.html">Katherine Harris...

Of course, you would expect me to say that but in this case, it's objective reality.

1. "impropriety or..corruption", naw. I call it a "shakedown"

I wish the Ohio Dems website actually had the letter that Dann refers to, though.

4. From the Dispatch:

Sen. Ray Miller yesterday questioned the elections-law expertise of a Catholic University of America law professor hired by the Ohio secretary of state.

"I looked at his bio, and I don’t see anything listed about election law," Miller, a Columbus Democrat, said of attorney Robert A. Destro, of Virginia.

The Controlling Board, a bipartisan state spending oversight panel, approved paying Destro $65,000 for three contracts, part of a $25.8 million package of special-counsel contracts.

....

"Civil rights is my field, and voting rights is a piece of that," Destro said. "I’m very well informed and have been working on these kinds of cases for a very long time."

The last paragraph is a quote from Destro (the Schivo attorney) which the Columbus Dispatch features on the front page of their "Ohio Elects". Why didn't the reporter simply ask, "can you give me a few examples of cases such as this that you have worked on"?
