Ken Blackwell receives fundie stamp of approval for RNC chair

(UPDATE: Todd Beeton at MyDD is liveblogging a debate between all of the RNC candidates at the National Press Club. Hilarity ensues.)

Is it no surprise that the former Ohio

Bush vote bag man Secretary of State and contender for the head of the RNC, Ken Blackwell has been given the thumbs up from Daddy D and two dozen other conservatives and fundies for his candidacy? (Politico):

The group, which mixes leading economic conservatives, including Steve Forbes and Pat Toomey, and leading social conservatives, including James Dobson and Tony Perkins, had agreed to endorse and campaign together for a candidate based on a questionnaire assembled by veteran GOP activist Morton Blackwell (no relation).

“The conservative endorsers noted that there were other good candidates, but all agreed that Ken Blackwell is the best choice. They intend to contact grassroots conservatives across the country and ask them to urge the three RNC members from each state and U.S. territory to vote for Ken Blackwell for RNC chairman,” they said in a press release going out shortly.

After all,

Ken carried the water for Chip Saltsman and his decision distribute a CD with “Barack the Magic Negro” on it, even as others in his party condemned Saltsman.

“I don’t think any of the concerns that have been expressed in the media about any of the other candidates for RNC chairman should disqualify them. When looked at in the proper context, these concerns are minimal. All of my competitors for this leadership post are fine people.”

No wonder Blackwell satisfies Tony Perkins of Family Research Council. After all, Tony had no problems paying former KKK-wizard David Duke $82K for his mailing list.
