Losing very badly, Blackwell is very desperate and playing very dirty politics

Yesterday's NY Times editorial about Blackwell and his people finagling to get Ted Strickland off the ballot:

The latest news from the state's governor's race is that the Republican nominee, Kenneth Blackwell, who is also the Ohio secretary of state, could rule that his opponent is ineligible to run because of a technicality. We'd like to think that his office would not ultimately do that, or that if it did, such a ruling would not be allowed to stand. But the mere fact that an elected official and political candidate has the authority to toss his opponent out of a race is further evidence of a serious flaw in our democracy.
Insane. But it gets worse. Today, Markos has a post about the gutter politics of Ken Blackwell.

Blackwell is going to lose -- and lose bad. Strickland is ahead 59 - 32 in the latest Quinnipiac poll -- it's a blow out. Blackwell has nothing to run on. His is the epitome of the failed Republican party in Ohio and America.

Ted Strickland will make a great Governor.
