Pugs will turn on Blackwell now
Ohio just embarrassed them. Former Gov. Engler who was being considered for VP in 2000 didn't deliver Michigan then and was dropped politically like a hot potato.

Cheney and the Pugs were definitely pissed this morning. Me thinks Blackwell will no longer be on their good list even though he sold his soul to deliver Ohio to them.

1. I think Ohio will elect him Governor in '06. He's got name-recognition
now, and a lack of strong Dem candidates will work in his favor.

2. Lets hope so, but Katherine Harris was an embarassment too but she got
a promotion anyway.

7. Yep. He's most likely toast. He bungled the whole job from
beginning to end. And, did anyone see the stuff that Chicanopower (?) found on Hicks? It was amazing.

8. Yeah...like they turned their back on Katharine Harris. Blackwell
was doing the GOP's bidding. Who do you think gave him his orders?

He will be well rewarded.

9. Right, the same way that Rumsfeld has been drummed out of DoD.
Blackwell will be the belle of the ball at the Monkey Palace when he comes to visit his massah.

Don't you get it? Loyalty is rewarded in the Repub party, and the more corrupt you are, the greater your reward.

12. They weren't pissed -- they were smug and condescending
Katherine Hackwell is their hero. He pulled out all the stops, broke laws even, to seal the deal for their king.

He'll be well-rewarded when he cashes in his chits in 2 years.
