“Jim pours his heart and soul into every endeavor of his life,” said Blackwell. “That fact is obvious in all he has achieved, from his days as a two-time NCAA champion wrestler, his recent service in the Ohio House and Senate and his life-time of love and affection for his wife and children.
“He is a man of honesty and integrity, with a strong record of public service to the families and communities of north central Ohio.

This is great! Not only did Blackwell endorse a candidate well before the primary, but he advertised the endorsement on his own campaign website. IMHO, this reflects well on both Blackwell and Jordan.
Now, if only Bob Taft would resign.
Cool, yah, that does show a lot of confedence on both their parts.
Here's hoping we win. Blackwell for Governor '06 = Blackwell for President in '12 or possibly even VP in '08.
It's amazing to me that politicians that are so pathetic as Taft insist on serving out their terms. What do they hope to accomplish? Is it purely for the paycheck?
bttt
Not likely, as the Taft family is wealthy. In all liklihood, it's an ego issue.
In general when one is elected to a position he should serve out the full term.
Bob Shafter won't resign.
But I'm glad to hear Blackwell did this!!
I tend to think with some pols, if those that give them a positive approval rating could hold a convention in a phone booth, it's time to step aside. Taft does no one, but the 'Rats, any favors remaining in office at this point.
Hey, I saw Blackwell on television. This man is impressive! Think he'll be elected governor of Ohio? More and more it's looking like Ohio may be the spiritual keystone of America.
