Strickland-Montgomery '06?
A panel of Ohio gubernatorial candidates generated some interesting policy proposals today, as well as some bipartisan ideas.
Auditor Betty D. Montgomery, Attorney General Jim Petro and U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland found themselves agreeing on the hazards of one plan -- Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's spending expenditure limitation initiative. Blackwell was in Washington, so was an easy target.
Strickland, a Democrat from Lisbon, said, "I hate to do this, but I would agree with some of what Betty said.''
"How about a bipartisan government?'' Montgomery suggested.
"A Strickland-Montgomery ticket?'' Strickland replied, prompting laughter at a conference of government editors and reporters.
"A Montgomery-Strickland ticket,'' the Republican from Perrysburg shot back.
On a serious note, Strickland hinted that he hopes to pick a woman or minority as his lieutenant governor runningmate. "It is incredibly important for the Democratic Party to embrace diversity,'' he said.
