This indicates that the public is tired of the deceptive ads run by the GOP. Dewines lies about Brown's "unpaid" taxes and hypocrit blackwell push polls on a pedophile employee despite:

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

GOP gubernatorial nominee J. Kenneth Blackwell, who has questioned the
judgment of Democrat Ted Strickland for employing an aide who committed
a misdemeanor, once had a felon on his payroll.

As state treasurer, Blackwell unknowingly hired a man with a long
record of arrests and kept him on the payroll even after his office
discovered the man’s record and brought it to Blackwell’s attention.
Under Blackwell, who was treasurer from March 1994 to January 1999,
Michael A. Toomer received two pay increases before leaving the
treasurer’s office in 2002 and landing in prison for the next four
years.

In May 2002, about three months after leaving the treasurer’s office,
Toomer was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to
sexually abusing a girl, beginning in September 1994 when she was 7 and
continuing until 2001.

Blackwell said he did not know Toomer was a child molester until
yesterday. If he had had any indication that Toomer was abusing a child
while an employee of the treasurer’s office, Blackwell said, "He would
have been history."

The revelation that Blackwell hired and kept a felon on the payroll
comes as the GOP nominee intensifies his attack on Strickland.
Blackwell has accused Strickland of using poor judgment by not
investigating the record of a former top aide who had been convicted in
1994 of a fourthdegree misdemeanor publicindecency offense. Strickland
denied the accusation, noting that the record of the offense had been
expunged.

The Blackwell campaign this week is making "push poll" calls to Ohio
voters, a deceptive method of using what appear to be legitimate
surveys to spread a negative message about an opponent.

Dems will take the U.S. House. Dems will take the U.S. Senate.
Dems will take the Ohio house.
Dems will take the Ohio Senate.
Strickland will be governor.
Pepper will be commissioner.
Investigations will be launched.

Many Republican politicos will lose their jobs and be unemployed. They will be the lucky ones.

Others will go to jail.

Want another reason not to vote Republican?

Admin may have botched prosecution of ‘20th hijacker.’

Over the objections of the Pentagon’s Criminal Investigation Task Force, Donald Rumsfeld approved abusive interrogations of alleged 9/11 accomplice Mohammed al-Qahtani. Now, military prosecutors have told the Tast Force “not to worry about making a criminal case against al-Qahtani…because what had been done to him would prevent him from ever being put on trial.”
