Ohio punishes the cheaters
Democrat Ted Strickland beat the author of the Bush presidency J. Kenneth Blackwell for Governor of Ohio.
In many ways Blackwell was the Katherine Harris of the 2004 election. He is now consigned to whatever corporate board is going to have him.
Almost bigger news is the fact that progressive populist Sherrod Brown dumped incumbent Republican Senator Mike DeWine by 10%. It was expected, but Brown is a voice that has been missing in the Senate.
Kucinich Democrats are partying hard.
Three of the four open seats were taken by Democrats, one vacated by Brown. But otherwise incumbents have won.
Ohio's House representation is now 8 Democrats, 10 Republicans.
