Con Welfare Watch: Ken Blackwell

7:50 pm EST May 1st, 2007 | Uncategorized | 5 Comments

Last year, along with fellow Black Cons Michael Steele and Lynn Swann, Ken Blackwell was pushed by the right and the cons as yet another great hope for black Republicans. Like Swann and Steele, Blackwell lost his race to be governor of Ohio by the whopping margin of 60%-37% to Democrat Ted Strickland. So what rock has Blackwell crawled under? Well, he’s the latest recepient of conservative welfare with the reward of a plush job flacking for the far far right Family Research Council. As usual, FRC airbrushes Ken Blackwell’s bio and it contains no information about his run for the governorship of Ohio or the shellacking he received.

Ken Blackwell demonstrates his expertise on a very odd subject:

    I’m trying to figure out your point here Oliver. Don’t most failed candidates move on and do something else? They get jobs, or work at think tanks or other things. (Walter Mondale comes to mind- maybe just because I live in Minnesota.)

    How silly.

    And as for the bio- you usually include your accomplishments- not the things you tried.

    But I’m sure that Mr. Mondale’s business bio includes his failed run for the Presidency and for the Senate in 2002.
