Strickland's words turned against him after budget event
By Justin Miller, PolitickerOH.com ReporterGov. Ted Strickland drew large applause at the Democratic convention when he made fun of President Bush and his economic record by saying the president "came into office on third base, and then he stole second."
After Strickland announced millions in budget cuts due to a defecit, the Ohio Republican Party is using Strickland's joke against him.
Ohio Republican Party deputy chair Kevin DeWine said Strickland inherited budget surpluses from the Taft administration but squandered them.
"I guess you could say Ted Strickland came into office on third base, and then he stole second," DeWine said.
