12:35 and this blog is slowing down

Are readers freezing me up?

Gotta tell you more. The candidates are on a roll now.

They have hit their stride.

Ken Blackwell said his ideas will work on Wall Street as well as on Main Street, Ohio.

"That's typical Ted Strickland. He just puts more ornaments on a Christmas tree,'' Blackwell said. "That's why we must restrain government spending (and) cut taxes."

How are you going to pay for all these new programs, Blackwell asked. By raising taxes.
