MSM Picking up on Ted Strickland / Bob Taft Connection

From Fox19.com

Ohio Democratic Congressman Ted Strickland has collected nearly a million dollars from former supporters of the Republican governor he hopes to replace.

A review by The (Toledo) Blade newspaper shows the donors include government contractors, vendors, and lawyers seeking state legal work. All contributed to Taft's campaign in 1998. Their money has helped Strickland take a fund-raising lead over his Republican opponent in the governor's race, Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell.

Strickland tells The Blade he believes accepting the donations was appropriate.

Sure it's appropriate but it doesn't look good.
