Ohio Governor Ted Strickland

There were rumors that Ohio governor Ted Strickland was on the short list to be Omama's running mate. I found that curious because while they're both Democrats, their political ideals are very far apart. While Obama is against liberty, thus anti-self-defense, Strickland just supported and signed into law a pro-gun, pro-self-defense bill. I wonder if Strickland has the stomach to tolerate Obama. He recently said he has absolutely no desire, nor will he be Obama's running mate. Good for him.
