Is Ken Blackwell running for the Senate? Or just trying to sell more books?

[upstatecajun]

So here’s an interesting fact for you: Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel was 2 years old when Ken Blackwell was elected Mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Despite the very large age difference, it seems quite possible that the two Ohio politicians could be facing each other in a primary battle next fall.

Blackwell and Mandel have a lot in common. Both started out as somewhat liberal and ended up on the far-right side of politics. Both serve/served as Ohio Treasurer. Both never seem satisfied with their current job. And both have expressed interest in running for Sherrod Brown’s Senate in 2012.

While Josh Mandel has officially announced his intention to run, despite his promise to serve out his term as Treasurer, Blackwell has been less forthcoming with his plans.
