In ten months Ohio will elect for itself a new governor. I am proud to announce that I endorse Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell. He has an abundance of experience serving the public that goes beyond what is needed to be governor. He has been elected as secretary of state, mayor of Cincinnati and state treasurer, as well as serving on several federal commissions, and as an undersecretary of housing and urban development. Kenneth Blackwell is also the only candidate to support the state amendment banning gay marriage. He is also the only Republican candidate not affected by the coingate scandal. It is this blend of ideology, integrity and experience that makes Kenneth Blackwell the best man for Ohio governor.  ¶ 6:39 AM
