Columbus- Ken Blackwell's campaign for Ohio governor picked up a major national endorsement Thursday from U.S. Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican and likely presidential contender in 2008.

McCain cited Secretary of State Blackwell's independence and candor among the key reasons for his support.

"Ohioans need Ken Blackwell's clear thinking, straight talk and strong leadership at the top of the ticket," McCain said in a written statement.

McCain's support has the potential to benefit both him and Blackwell...

1. Good God.....

Well, any of those still having admiration for McCain.... be sure and take this one in. I credit McCain for taking on Bush* on the torture issue (albeit NOT alone), but he is just a damned panderer.

2. Repeat the phrase "Bob Taft" like Bush said "9/11" during 2004

3. That's not surprising

Repuke trash all stick together.

4. See, I told you all.....

McCain is a purebred fundie!!!!! Do not ever support anything this empty suit has to say.

6. I many ways he is worse than the *

because he should have more sense.

He is power mad and we would have more of the same if he EVER becomes President.

Casper is not a friendly ghost.

5. I'm surprised they haven't used the race card yet...

blackwell, seems to me, is one who would do that.

7. He already has.....

why do you think he is where is is today? Of course, the African American groups he "used" have identified his fraud today....

The Ohio Black Caucus will set thing right when he tries again.

8. McCain needs Blackwell to fix the votes

in the Ohio election in 08 to give the state to him

this is as clear as can be - he is already putting all his crooked ducks in order to steal the election

scum bags all!
