Ohio's lookin' good (if they don't steal the election - again)

(from the columbus dispatch via raw story...)

Although we’re miles from Election Day, a new Dispatch Poll shows that a near-sweep of statewide races appears within the grasp of Ohio Democrats.

Led by gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland’s commanding 19-point lead at the top of the ticket, Democrats are up by at least 8 points in the contests for auditor, secretary of state and treasurer.

The only Republican currently ahead for any state administrative office is Auditor Betty D. Montgomery, vying for the attorney general’s job she held from 1995-2002.

plus, we get treated to the chief ohio election-stealer himself in full whine...

The campaign of GOP gubernatorial candidate J. Kenneth Blackwell discounted the poll results because the first name of his running mate was mistakenly listed on the poll ballots as Charles Raga; it is Tom Raga.

"Most pollsters would have reissued the survey. It’s disappointing The Dispatch chose to proceed in spite of the mistake," said Blackwell spokesman Carlo LoParo.

Four other polls released last week using various methodologies showed Blackwell losing by 12 points to 21 points.

boo-hoo, ken...

still in all, NEVER count your chickens while rove is still around...
