Governor's race turns ugly
Blackwell campaign links Strickland to predators, hints he's gay
BY JON CRAIG | ENQUIRER COLUMBUS BUREAU

COLUMBUS - With Republican Ken Blackwell trailing by double digits in almost every poll, Blackwell's campaign Tuesday tried to link his Democratic opponent to child sex predators - and the state Republican spokesman even raised questions about Ted Strickland's sexuality.

Blackwell and the state GOP say they are only questioning Strickland's integrity and judgment.

The Strickland campaign said the GOP ought to be "ashamed."


At Monday night's final televised debate, and again in a press release Tuesday, Blackwell charged that Strickland should have known that a man arrested for exposing himself to children was on his congressional payroll. He also suggested Strickland backed a U.S. House resolution supported by a group supporting pedophilia.

Tuesday, Blackwell's gubernatorial campaign released three Athens, Ohio, police reports, with identifying information blacked out, to claim that Strickland had "covered up'' an aide's 1994 arrest, failing to fire him when he worked for Strickland from 1997 to 1999.

1. More "projection" bullshit, eh?

Blackwell's going down big-time.

:kick:

3. They tried to say this earlier in the campaign

What I'm concerned about is Blackwell's voter purge.

2. Blackwell's really getting shamefully desperate

He's also (suddenly) decided Strickland might be an ineligle voter and as such can't run for Governor. Oh, the irony that it is Blackwell who decides Strickland's "eligibility".

4. Blackwell is desperate and will throw any mud he can hoping some sticks

This evil twin of Karl Rove will do most anything he can to retain power.

5. I have watched a couple of their debates

Blackheart is extremely angry,arrogant and nasty,while Ted is calm,cool and collected and discusses the issues and how he will move Ohio forward instead of backward.Blackheart does the mud slinging while Ted tells us his plans to help bring people together and make this state better. Blackheart is a typical repuke....no issues to run on except try to destroy his opponent with lies and smears. It's no wonder I despise repukes so much.

6. He has to get close somehow.....

So he can flip the switch on the machines election night and give himself the win.
