Blackwell's campaign just doesn't get it, or just doesn't want to admit they're wrong.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Openers��blog:

The Blackwell campaign defended its comments and noted that Strickland even voted against school prayer while serving in Congress.

Blackwell spokesman Carlo LoParo defended his boss' comments and said Strickland and his party have a history of trying to "chase God and faith out of the public square."

LoParo conceded that this crop of Ohio Democrats nominated an ordained minister for governor.

Conceded that Strickland is an ordained minister?�� I wonder how many days until LoParo CONCEDES that Strickland is an elected Congressman or that Blackwell is the Secretary of State.

What LoParo fails to acknowledge is that there is believing in a separation of church and state is not anti-thesis to faith, nor is it a requirement under any organized religion I know.

Fact is, both sides of the aisle in Congress and in every state legislature bows their head at the beginning of every legislative session.�� We all embrace the gifts of liberty.�� And our party recognizes more than the Republicans that we are a democratic republic based on faith, not any particular dogmatic religious persuasion.

Still waiting for Blackwell to tell African-American Democrats that they have no faith to their faces.��
