Fundraiser admits funneling money to Bush campaign
A top Republican fund-raiser who is the leading figure in an Ohio political scandal pleaded guilty on Wednesday to illegally funneling money to President George W. Bush's 2004 reelection campaign. In an appearance in federal court, rare coin dealer Tom Noe admitted to three counts of violating campaign finance laws. He wrote checks to two dozen Republican supporters so they could attend a $2,000-a-plate Bush fund-raising dinner held in the state capital of Columbus on October 30, 2003. (AP)

...and tonight at the gig, a friend who is in Cleveland politics told me of a fiddle with the optical voting machines in his suburban community. the stink reaches all the way down to the smallest municipal level.

but the good news is Bush's approval rating here is 35% = the lowest since Ohio began to run this tally. actually...maybe he should be happy...in one survey, Gov. Bob Taft's is 19%.

go Buckeyes...
