Ken Blackwell Has 11-Point Lead With 5 Weeks Left Until Ohio's Republican Gubernatorial Primary
From the Columbus Dispatch:
Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell holds a double-digit lead in Ohio’s GOP gubernatorial primary race in the first Dispatch Poll before the May 2 election.My Comments:
While Attorney General Jim Petro trails by 11 points, nearly a third of Republican voters remain undecided. That means Petro must win two out of every three of those uncommitted voters just to draw even as the candidates fire up their TV ad war over the final five weeks of the campaign.
Blackwell’s margin might help explain his decisions not to debate Petro and to limit media access. The front-runner will face a crucial decision as the primary approaches on whether to spend the bulk of his campaign cash to counter a probable all-or-nothing Petro onslaught or to save some money for the fall campaign.

And according to the Rasmussen poll he has an uphill battle in the General Election (I assume thanks to Bob "16% Approval" Taft).
I think Blackwell will beat Strickland fairly handily in the General Election. I have no numbers to back it up - just a gut instinct on my part.
