In the money

Flexing some political muscle nearly four weeks before the next campaign finance filing deadline, Ohioans for Blackwell today announced that more than 10,000 separate people have given to Secretary of State Ken Blackwell’s gubernatorial campaign, putting the Cincinnati Republican on track to surpass the $1.24 million raised in the previous fund-raising reporting period.

“Our support is strong, unwavering and growing, locked in for Ken and the anti-tax and pro-life principles he stands for,'' said campaign manager Mike Hernon.

The next campaign finance filing deadline is Jan. 31.

In a separate development today, state Sen. Eric Fingerhut, a Democrat from Shaker Heights, filed paperwork designating a campaign treasurer in his expected run for governor.

Fingerhut would face U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland and former state Rep. Bryan Flannery of Lakewood in a May primary election.

Fingerhut is expected to formally announce his bid at a Jan. 18 fund-raising event.

When asked if he was worried about being the Kathryn Harris of 2004, he said "Last time I looked Kathryn Harris wasn't in a soup line, she's in congress". He helped steal the election and will win because of it.
