The Hotline blog and the Atlantic magazine are reporting that J. Kenneth Blackwell, former Ohio secretary of state, is considering a bid for Republican National Committee chairman. Blackwell lost his bid for Ohio governor in 2006, and has been writing at Town Hall and heading up the Coalition for a Conservative Majority.

They report that if he were to be a candidate for the RNC gig, two black men would vie to be one of the party's leading voices during an Obama administration.

Michael Steele, former Maryland lieutenant governor, is also in the mix.
