The New York Times is reporting that Governor Ted Strickland endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. In making this endorsement, Strickland specifically rejected arguments that Clinton was going to hurt down ballot Democrats. Here is a quote from the Times article:
On a conference call with Senator Clinton and reporters, Mr. Strickland repeatedly vouched for Mrs. Clinton’s electability in next November’s general election, an issue that her rivals have tried to raise doubts about.
He also indicated her nomination would not be a drag on congressional and state office candidates; the campaign of one of her rivals, former Senator John Edwards, has argued that Mrs. Clinton’s unpopularity
Readers of this blog know that we posted an entry that raised the issue of whether Clinton would be a liability for down ballot Democrats. Apparently Ted Strickland doesn't think so and he is certainly much more knowledgable than we are about Ohio politics.
