In a previous post,
"PUTTING CONSERVATIVE BACK INTO REPUBLICAN", I proposed supporting Michael Steele in his campaign for RNC chairman. I still believe he would be superb in that position. But, being one who believes too much goodness is never enough, I now propose we also consider Ken Blackwell's qualifications for that position. I also believe any conservative who looks into Ken Blackwell's life history will find him more than suitable to be a candidate for president or any other position in government, and would be an excellent running mate for Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindl, Michael Steel, and any other conservative faithful to the Constitution. He has no leftist leanings, no baggage to drag hom down, is a proven campaign winner, and is quite a bit more to the right than, say, George Washington or John Adams. Seriously.
I pointed out a couple of issues about which Michael Steele was not exactly what one would consider a staunch conservative. However, I see no such need to explain anything similar with regard to Ken Blackwell. His multi-page listing of awards, qualifications, affiliations, positions of leadership, conservative activities, nominations for office, Ohio State Republican activism, etc., etc., etc., reads like the definitive description of a Constitutional Conservative authored by william F. buckley, Jr., Ronald Reagan, or Rush Limbaugh.
Ken Blackwell will garner the approval of the most dedicated, stubborn, and demanding conservative members of the Republican party. His entire life is impressive to say the least.
TownHall columnist Terrence Jeffery has written a very good article about Mr. Blackwell suggesting he be drafted as a candidate for RNC chairman.
