OH-GOV: Sabato's Crystal Ball: Race Now "Likely Democratic"
In a sign that the GOP implosion continues in Ohio, University of Virginia Professor Larry Sabato has changed the Governor's race from "Leaning Democratic" to "Likely Democratic" in his "Crystal Ball" report, which isn't all that surprising, given Ted Strickland's double digit lead over GOP candidate Ken Blackwell in polls. Sabato says Blackwell now has “too many burdens that are too heavy to prevail in this year, absent a miracle.”

Childish games being played by democrats and republicans. I am an American and I think it is past time to "Circle the Wagons". I could care less about the legacy of a president. THe job they did or did not do will be there in the history books. The person leading my list to vote for is "None of the above" and I would like to see that option. We really have no choice for years I have been voting 'against' the other guy and not for the one I vote for. I just hold my nose and cast the vote. If democrats and republican can not get to gether and save our nation they should 'get out of dodge' and yesterday who needs a bunch like we have in congress right now. Do nothing people excpet fatten their own wallets.

After the 2004 Election dabacle in Ohio, I have a personal interest in seeing Blackwell go down in flames.
As for the vote for "None of the Above", isn't that what millions of eligible voters did in 2004 when they did not bother to vote at all? Well THAT worked out well for US, didn't it?
No, Kerry was not my first choice, he wasn't my choice at all, but I wanted desperately to be rid of Bush & Cheney.
The only thing I give George Bush credit for is the cold slap in the face that woke me up to politics and the workings of our government and MSM. I never really realized just how important it was to have THREE separate but equal branches of government.
As for news, I now go to web sites like this and Raw Story and Hinessight to find the info I won't get on network or local television or in local newspapers. I certainly won't find it on the AM radio talk shows. In my area, the only choices are Rush, O'reilly & Hannity.
