Kenneth Blackwell has his hands on something again: Dispatch:
Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell will decide whether a conservative supporter can continue an independent run for Congress that could hurt his own party’s nominee.
The Franklin County Board of Elections voted along party lines yesterday on a Republican challenge to the candidacy of Charles R. Morrison II, a Madison County business owner who wants to join the 15 th District race between GOP incumbent Deborah Pryce and Democratic challenger Mary Jo Kilroy....
According to the article, Morrison ran against Pryce in 2004 primary and managed to get 7,200 votes. Morrison's campaign scares the daylights out of the Pryce supporters because Pryce will need every vote to defeat popular Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy. Now Blackwell, suspected of having his hand in the 2000 and 2004 elections in Ohio, has to decide if Morrison stays or goes off the ballot. I don't think Blackwell can be objective on anything that challenges his friend, Pryce or the GOP.
