Plain Dealer endorses Ted Strickland
The Plain Dealer is starting to announce their endorsements for the November Election. To read the full endorsement read it at the Plain Dealer. It is accurately critical of Strickland, but has scathing criticisms of Blackwell. Here are some highlights from the article:
Blackwell reeks of recklessness. His long record in public office suggests that he would freely engage in the exploration of potentially destructive ideas, even as he uses the governorship to make political mischief and sow social division on a grander scale than ever.
We believe Strickland has a better chance to accomplish good things for Ohio because he and his running mate, Lee Fisher, understand the state's needs better than their Republican opponents. Fisher is an urban Democrat from Greater Cleveland who has long championed the needs of cities and knows the challenges of job creation. Strickland, a product of Appalachia, has lived the struggles of rural Ohio and grasps the troubles of the poor.
The question before Ohioans is, which candidate for governor is best equipped to carry the state forward without dropping it. The only answer, then, is Ted Strickland.
The other two latest endorsements by the Plain Dealer are for issues 4 and 5, both which focus on making Ohio Smoke Free, one would be a constitutional amendment, the other would not be - and therefore be more flexible.
