As a resident of Ohio, I am infuriated with John McCain backing Ken Blackwell.
The first act of the Ohio Restoration Project will be to send a bunch of emails to John McCain telling him to reject Blackwell.
Here's the letter.
"You said that "Ohioans need Ken Blackwell's clear thinking, straight talk and strong leadership at the top of the ticket".
No, we don't.
Blackwell has shown to Ohioans that he is corrupt.
As Secretary of State, Blackwell's duties included the position of Chief Elections Officer, overseeing the elections process for the state. Many have argued that there was a direct conflict of interest regarding Blackwell's positions as both the Chief Elections Officer and the co-chair of the Committee to Re-elect George Bush in Ohio.
Whether or not you support George Bush is irrelevant right now. That was a prime example as to what a Conflict of Interest is.
And, Blackwell is very homophobic. He said that farm animals were better than same-sex couples.
"I don't know how many of you have a farming background but I can tell you right now that notion even defies barnyard logic ... the barnyard knows better."
Please, John McCain. We do not need or want Ken Blackwell."
