"Liberal forces – including a key group backed by George Soros - are saying their number one political target is Ohio’s Sec. of State Ken Blackwell.
Now, an array of liberal groups are gearing up to derail Ken Blackwell’s candidacy for governor of Ohio in next year’s election.
The Democrats fear that Blackwell, a staunch conservative, will play a key role in winning Ohio for the Republican presidential ticket in 2008 – just as he did in 2004.
They also worry that the conservative one-time football player could be a powerful addition to the GOP presidential ticket in 2008.
The left-wing Air-America Radio, which carries hosts like Al Franken, blasted Blackwell in early June and urged their listeners to support an organized effort to defeat him.
And Steve Rosenthal, CEO of the 527 group America Coming Together – a group backed by anti-Bush billionaire George Soros – has called the 2006 Ohio governor’s race the most important in the nation." |
