** FILE ** In this June 27, 2006 file photo, then Ohio Secretary of State and Republican gubernatorial nominee Ken Blackwell speaks during a meeting of the Republican Governors Association in Boston. If Christian conservatives stay on the sidelines during the fall campaign, presidential hopeful John McCain probably stays in the Senate.

"I personally would like for John to get to the point of comfort with some of our issues and policy positions, through understanding and genuine acceptance." (AP Photo/Julie Malakie, File)
