Blackwell: The 'Change' Candidate

... There is dispute about this, but Ken Blackwell's people tell me they have commitments through six ballots --a point first reported by Erick Erickson at RedState

A key for Blackwell is that he has commitments through six ballots, which means he is not getting out. Likewise, sources close to his camp and individual members I’ve talked to who previously committed publicly are privately saying they’re taking a second look as the meeting begins and are starting to lean toward Blackwell.

RedState has endorsed Blackwell, as have I.

In other news, AZ Ntl. Committeeman Bruce Ash had this to say about Blackwell today:

"Ken Blackwell is the logical change candidate with the stature and political philosophy to take the Obama Administration to task. Today I am urging members of the RNC who are supporting other "change" candidates to join me and a growing list of members in uniting behind Ken Blackwell."
