McCain endorsed Blackwell for OH Governor?

[mod mom]

Has this been discussed? If so, I missed it. Whay would McCain feel it necessary to endorse such a right wing controversial figure, unless maybe he understands Blackwell controls the vote in Ohio.

CATBIRD'S SEAT 

From Genesis to gays to Griffey, Ken Blackwell speaks his mind

"I offer a clarity that perhaps escapes Betty and Jim": Blackwell makes no effort to dilute his strong positions 

Frontrunners are boring. They surround themselves with a phalanx of overprotective advisers and handlers. Their public appearances are rare and tightly controlled. And since anything they say can and will be used against them, they keep from saying much of anything at all.

An exception to this rule is Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, currently the odds-on favorite to win the Republican nomination for governor in the May 2 primary.

You received a coveted endorsement from John McCain. Will you return the favor when he runs for president?

I received an endorsement from John McCain. I received an endorsement from Steve Forbes. I received an endorsement from Sen. (Sam) Brownback, all of whom are potential nominees.

So I am looking forward to a robust primary season associated with the 2008 presidential election and Republican primary. I have yet to decide who I'm gonna support, but I have yet to see any definitiveness on who's gonna be running.

1. McCain is a whore on a string.

How many times do we have to see him dance to get it?
