Oh, that is really WONDROUS news ...
Ken Blackwell was GOP sacrificial lamb in wake of Taft scandal. Hopefully Governor Strickland will be more James Rhodes or Verne Riffe and less Dick Celeste or John Gilligan.
Hopefully the same thing happens to in the Presidental Election in 2008.
NO ONE DIED WHEN CLINTON LIED!
Hopefully the GOP has learned that trampling on the rights of voters for partisan gain will not go unpunished.
