Ohio Secretary of State, Ken Blackwell, beat Attorney General, Jim Petro, in a nasty Republican Primary for Governor.

Each candidate featured a TV ad calling the other a hypocrite.

Blackwell has always appealed to Christian voters.  Petro, who says he's "not one to campaign in a way that puts my faith on my sleeve", put his faith on his sleeve.  In an effort to save either his campaign or his soul, his TV ads featured a bible and a baptismal certificate.

Iraq doesn't have a monopoly on sectarian civil war fears.
 

Ohio is once again shaping up as a swing state for the 2008 presidential elections. 

Secretary of State Ken Blackwell launched attack ads against Attorney General, Jim Petro, Blackwell's opponent in the republican primary election for governor.

The Secretary of state is running as an outsider against scandal.  Governor Bob Taft pleaded no contest to not paying golf green fees.  Golfing partner and coin dealer, Tom Noe, is under indictment. Blackwell says, "Petro gave $129 million in unbid legal contracts and expected campaign kickbacks in return." 

If Blackwell's not careful he'll use up all the scandal charges before the democrats get a chance in the general election.
