Ken Blackwell former mayor of Cincinnati is probably a very intelligent man, and driven; however, on his interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart ended up stuttering and stammering and at a loss to explain the thesis of his own book.  Unfortunately for Blackwell he was dismantled on live television by getting basic facts wrong. This guy was mayor? jeez..

I think this commercial is absolutely fair game, Randall “Rand” Paul and Ron Paul to Reverend Jeremiah Wright.  Jeremiah Wright really didn’t say anything substantively different from the Pauls on 9/11, he just did not have the opportunity to use any sort of bully pulpit  to defend himself from the constant attacks of the controversy starved media.  I’m interested to see how Fox News and CNN will decide to treat this commercial, given that they demonized Wright at every opportunity.  In the following video, it is extraordinarily clear Dr. Ron Paul and Rev. Jeremiah Wright share quite similar views on the issue of “blowback.”
