Congressman Conyers: Battleground Ohio Primary Tonight

[cal04]

Just as the presidential election turned on the Buckeye State, so too could the 06 Midterms. It looks like were heading for a Strickland-Blackwell Governors Race, and a Brown-DeWine Senate battle. Both are critical -- we need the Ohio Governors mansion to help catapult our Presidential nominee in 08, as well as to insure fair redistricting in 2010.

There are also a number of key house races -- Wilson looks good as a write-in in Strickland's old district, and we have several other pick-up opportunities.

So Ohio could be ground zero again, and the road to the Majority may well go through Columbus.

P.S. -- not surprisingly there were numerous machine snafus in Democratic areas. We desperately need a new Secretary of State as well, if we want to count every vote.

1. What are Strickland's chances against Blackwell?

Conyers seems to be worried.

2. Rasmussen gives Strickland (D) 50%, Blackwell (R) 40% for OH Gov

and most people think rasmussen favors repubs in their polls.

4. The question is, how big are Blackwell's you-know-what's...

to tweak the election in his favor, being the secretary of state who's running for governor.

I thought the same thing about Bush after Zogby stuck his neck out on some late-night show right before the '04 election & said the winner would be Kerry. If he does manipulate the votes, I hope he will be the one who finally gives election fraud & Diebold widespread attention.
