Slow trickle of gubernatorial campaign dollars adds up

Both major-party gubernatorial campaigns last week revealed they were taking on water.

Along with the big bucks going for TV ads and polling, staffers charged the campaign fund of Republican J. Kenneth Blackwell about $135 for car washes (no mention whether those were the same cars for which $330 was spent in valet parking).

And amid the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on consultants and media buys by Democrat Ted Strickland, almost $300 went for bottled water (no hint if it was consumed during $57 worth of document-shredding).
