Democrats are learning that in order to get elected they can't let people know their positions on the issues. We've seen this for quite some time, and we're seeing it at all levels of government. In Ohio, Democrat gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland refused to elaborate on his proposals until after he wins the election.

[Republican Ken Blackwell] angered educators earlier this year with a proposed constitutional amendment to limit the growth of government spending. The education community argues that the state has yet to comply with an Ohio Supreme Court order to wean school funding from property taxes and to adequately fund the system.

Blackwell was asked in several different ways to elaborate on his plans, and after referring to earlier remarks, said, ``I can't tell you again.''

Strickland was even less specific, although he said that his proposal would try to satisfy the Ohio Supreme Court's nine-year-old order to fix school funding.

When asked afterward by reporters to elaborate on that plan, Strickland said: ``I will do that if I win this election.''

While it's hardly unordinary for educators to be unethusiastic about Republican proposals on education (No Child Left Behind ring a bell) but Democrats are too afraid to even explain their positions or elaborate on their proposals. They just want to be elected.
