The hopelessly corrupt Kenneth Blackwell loses the Ohio gubernatorial race to Ted Strickland.
Reuters:
Voters in Ohio elected a Democrat as governor for the first time in 16 years on Tuesday, taking one of several states destined to be key battlegrounds in the 2008 presidential race.
Ted Strickland, a six-term U.S. congressman and Methodist minister, beat Kenneth Blackwell, the Ohio secretary of state, network projections said. It was the first of three dozen governorship contests decided.
Ohio played a decisive role in the 2004 race for the White House and appears likely to do so again in two years.
And we bid a fond 'don't let the door hit you in the ass' to Sen. Rick 'Man on Dog' Santorum, who loses to Bob Casey.
Reuters:
Democrat Bob Casey defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, capturing an important seat in the party's effort to retake control of the Senate from Republicans.
U.S. television networks CBS and NBC projected that Casey, state treasurer and son of a popular former governor, beat Santorum, the No. 3 Republican in the Senate and one of the Democrats' biggest targets in this year's elections.
Sweet!

This Strickland win is wonderful, wonderful news ...
Yeah, it really is great that Santorum is out. I'm also excited that Bernie Sanders is a Senator.
