Blackwell opens up talking about his childhood

Secretary of State Ken Blackwell opened up today's debate by talking about growing up in a Cincinnati housing project.

"My dad believed in working and saving and working and saving," he said.

But Blackwell said his parents knew if they worked hard their sons could do better.

"My record is one of getting results," Blackwell said of his tenure as mayor of Cincinnati, state Treasurer and now Secretary of State.

Blackwell said the next 64 days days will be drastic and important to all Ohioans.

"There's no more important job than getting our economy growing again," Blackwell said. "I've been a mayor of a city."
