PD Endorses Dolt

In my mind, it's actually embarrassing. The Cleveland Plain Dealer criticizes Democrat Ted Strickland as a man who possesses "apparent passivity" and "lack of boldness," a man who is also "stunningly free of vision."

In comparison, while paraphrasing and ignoring the ugly political spin, the Plain Dealer sees Republican Ken Blackwell as dynamic and bold, a man who would freely engage in the exploration of ideas.

The two candidates are described correctly as "starkly different." Yes, very much so. Blackwell is seen to possess leadership qualities. Strickland is seen to have no leadership qualities, a virtual dolt. However, the newspaper attempts to compensate for Strickland's glaring lack of leadership talent by asserting relative confidence that he will have smart people around him.

So, who did the Plain Dealer endorse? Strickland, astonishingly!

I'm certain that everyone has heard the cliche that a "grand jury could indict a ham sandwich." Well, the Plain Dealer has proven that a supposedly objective group of journalists can endorse a dolt for governor when voters have a clear choice to vote for a leader with a vision for the future.

In summary, northeast Ohio's liberal house organ, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, is opposed to dynamic and visionary leadership , therefore, a dolt is endorsed to run the state. How pathetic?
