Reply #18: Ken Blackwell. [View All]

You know, the guy in Ohio. I wonder if they haven't promised him a cherry spot in the admin -- we've heard rumors there are certain members of the current cabinet who won't be continuing if Shrub wins anyway. If he loses, Blackwell stands a good chance of at least being on the ticket -- he's reasonably attractive if you don't know his soul is full of maggots, he's glib and speaks well, he's religious, and he's African American. Not only that, but he's eating his liver to try to hand them Ohio this year. Even if he fails, I bet they've promised him something. The fact that non-DUers (and probably plenty of DUers) won't know that he's the turd who tried to suppress the minority vote in Ohio in 2004 is the thing that will make him a viable presidential or vice-presidential candidate, and the GOP would have the bonus of having a minority on the ticket.

Now, if we ran Barack Obama agin' him, Blackwell would be roadbed, but if Kerry wins, would we refuse him the opportunity to take a second shot at it?

I don't know -- Ohio-shaped tinfoil hat over here. I've said it before -- I want to get in my car right now and drive to Columbus with a pound of table salt, throw it on Ken Blackwell and see if he dissolves like the rest of the slugs.
