Stand my ground
The Associated Press declared Ted Strickland the winner over Ken Blackwell shortly after 8 p.m., based on exit polling.
Strickland, the first Democrat elected governor since Richard Celeste in 1986, is about to give his victory speech at the Hyatt at Capitol Square.
He took the stage as "Stand My Ground" by Tom Petty played. "I am proud and humbled," Strickland said. "I will be a governor who will work to unite all Ohioans to turn around Ohio. . . It's time to put aside our differences."
Strickland promised to improve schools, improve health care and secure jobs for all Ohioans.

Post a Comment*Yawn, raise taxes, blame employers and run business out of Ohio and then blame Republicans. Hey it worked this time.
We can't get taxes much higher than we already have in Ohio. The state has the second highest tax burden among all 50 states.
The name of the Tom Petty song is correctly titled "I Won't Back Down," and it comes from Petty's excellent _"Full Moon Fever"_ release.
Just thought y'all might like to know... .
