On Friday, the Ohio Black Republicans Association begins a two-day conference in Columbus, co-sponsored by the Ohio Republican Party. It coincides with Saturday's visit by a prominent black Democrat, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. Obama is the featured speaker at the state Democratic Party's annual dinner in Columbus.

On June 20, Greg Palast, a British reporter and bestselling author, will speak about a block away from Gov. Bob Taft's Bexley residence about his newest book, Armed Madhouse.

Palast takes several swipes at Ken Blackwell and his actions as secretary of state and co-chair of President Bush's 2004 campaign.

"What happened to the missing votes?'' Palast writes. "I'm not going to pretend this was the most difficult investigative story I've worked. We didn't need to call on Sherlock Holmes. In Ohio, the Black Stain of spoiled votes traced directly to bad punch-card machines in the ghetto.''

By Palast's tally, there were 239,127 uncounted votes in Ohio, more than the president's 118,599 vote margin over U.S. Sen. John Kerry.
