Well, yes, God save us indeed. But I don't see it. Taft would have a tough time being elected dog-catcher anywhere in Ohio about now. I think we pubbies are more enraged with him and his betrayals than the 'rats are.
Saw Shaft last year at a rally for GW in Cincinnati.
He was literally booed off the stage. The yelling and anger made the secret service nervous...
Blackwell would be a good choice. He differs from Shaft and wants to cut taxes.
