Hilary Clinton on Ohio's Elections
Without naming Blackwell, Clinton said, "One of the people running for high office is actually running the election. That should not be permitted. It's a conflict of interest. ... We've got to take back our democracy."

You may or may not know of Hilary Clinton's visit to Columbus this week in regards to the national conference for ACORN ( the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), which has been focusing this year on raising the minimum wage. Hilary, along with Sherrod Brown, addressed a crowd of 2,500 after a march that led to the State Capitol. At this rally, the Cincinnati Enquirer quotes Senator Clinton as saying the following:Referring to presidential races, Clinton said, "This country deserves to have an electoral system that has integrity. I know there's been a problem here in Ohio, and I hope everybody from Ohio is watching this election like a hawk. Don't let them pull anything over your eyes again."
Suffice to say, there has been a lot of attention on Blackwell's dual role as Secretary of State and Gubernatorial Candidate, that is only going to heat up as we get closer to November.
