Same Dem Mistake ... Different Day

The Dayton Daily News writes that:

National Democrats have once again set their sights on Republican J. Kenneth Blackwell, questioning his dual roles as Ohio's Secretary of State and a candidate for governor.

... The attack came from Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

In a letter Thursday, they ask Blackwell to "take immediate action" to assure voters this year's Ohio elections will be "fair, efficient and transparent."They also say Blackwell's two roles -- as a candidate and the state's chief elections overseer --"presents the most acute danger of conflict of interest."

I'm told both the DSCC and the DCCC were planning on attacking Blackwell in a press conference yesterday. They ended up pulling the plug on it, though. Apparently, someone told them about this ... or this.
