Blackwell's Hijinks

Does this surprise anyone?

Blackwell got $1M from vendors

And he was also the Ohio chairman for the Bush re-election campaign (which, as the official who oversees how the election is conducted, seems to be a rather odd side job.)

And of course there’s his cozy relationship with Diebold, the company who’s putting in the new electronic voting machines.

Do you think Ken Blackwell knows the meaning of the phrase “conflict of interest”?

I bet he knows what “quid pro quo” means.
