McCain Endorses Blackwell In OH

Just days after Sen. John McCain hinted that beleaguered Ohio Gov. Bob Taft (R)should step down, he endorsed one of the three Republicans aiming to succeed him: current Sec/stateKen Blackwell. Was this a way for McCain to say, hey, Blackwell is the cleanest of the three? Another example of his conservative positioning for WH 08?

From the Blackwell campaign's release: "Ohioans need Ken Blackwell's clear thinking, straight talk and strong leadership at the top of the ticket," said Senator McCain. "His agenda for limited government, economic development and job creation will put Ohio back on a winning path."
