Strickland lays out positive vision for Ohio in first debate

It's a good thing that Ken Blackwell isn't a conductor - an orchestra playing one note all the time would get very old after a short while.

In a debate today that was supposed to focus on everything from job growth to education reform to healthcare, Ted laid out a comprehensive vision to Turnaround Ohio with sweeping, common sense reforms.  Using the resources that Ohio’s current Republican leadership has either left mismanaged or unused, Ted will keep and grow the jobs we have by investing in our state’s strengths and bring new jobs to Ohio by making sure we have the best educated and prepared workforce possible.

In contrast, Ken Blackwell spent most of the debate going negative.

Today, we saw a true contrast in leadership styles.  With a chance to lay out their visions for the state, Ted rose to the challenge and Ken Blackwell sunk to his usual level of attacks and distortions.
