COLUMBUS — Until two weeks ago, one of Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell's jobs was to do everything he could to undermine George W. Bush's presidential campaign.
Mr. Blackwell, national chairman of erstwhile Republican candidate Steve Forbes' campaign, frequently showed up on TV talk shows to blast Mr. Bush and criticize the Texas governor for ducking issues. He once described Mr. Bush's education plan as “Clintonlike,” the ultimate put-down in GOP circles.
Now Mr. Forbes is out of the race. With less than two weeks before the March 7 primary, Mr. Blackwell is mending fences and joining most of Ohio's Republican establishment by shifting his support to Mr. Bush. He also may be looking ahead to his own political future.
While dismissing speculation that he's interested in returning to Washington to join a potential Bush administration, Mr. Blackwell has made no secret that he plans to run for governor in 2006. Backing Mr. Bush could be a chit he could call in later.
February of 2000. These mofo's plan ahead. And it's all about them.
