The Ohio gubrenatorial debate is on TV now

[JohnnyRingo]

NBC ch 21 Y'Town.

In his opening statement, Blackwell pointed out that Strickland has held a seat in congress for the last 12 years and Ohio has seen decline.

He said that a vote for himself would be a vote for change in Ohio, ignoring the fact that he, Taft, and other Republicans have been in the governor's mansion all along.

Blackwell doesn't have a very good style of speaking, he seems uncomfortable and awkward as he spouts form repub talking points.
It's apparent that he's spent his career as a Republican appointee.

I think we're gonna see a change in Ohio all right.

1. He's probably using that tact 'cause he's in Strickland's stomping grounds

and wants to go for the jugular. Sounds a little desperate, perhaps?

Any info on re-broadcast?

2. Did you record it?

Or will it be somewhere we can stream/download it later?

I'm sure there will be many foot-in-mouth and/or deranged moments for the SoS,
perhaps even some worthy of national ire at YouTube!
:evilgrin:

3. WKYC has it on their website,

I heard on their news broadcast last night.

4. I just read over on MyDD about

a new Zogby Poll....shit! Strickland 48 and Blackwell 42. Get out and canvass and/or phone bank.

5. Those are interactive polls, but that is still not good news ... eom

6. I tend to look at Rasmussenreports...they lean Repub so if he leads there

then he is in good shape. Granted these numbers are almost a month old I still don't see Kenny getting anywhere NEAR Strickland!
