Ohio's Coingate Spreads Far for GOP

I've been following this story from The Toledo Blade for awhile now, and I was very afraid that it would be squelched... but it seems to be spreading far and wide... all the way to the White House. The NY Times has even picked up on the scandal, so ya know it might be getting big. And read this fabulous op/ed in the Toledo Blade that blasts OH Gov Taft, Attorney Gen James Petro and Auditor Betty Montgomery, and says this: "Almost overlooked in the furor over the state's foolish investment in rare coins has been the ongoing investigation by the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office into possible violations of campaign finance laws by Mr. Noe during the Bush re-election campaign. The Noe scandal should outrage every Ohioan."...yep, I'm pretty pissed off... and I hope this scandal proves that OH has been taken over by GOP criminals, and it looks as if the investigation net is widening as fed and state prosecutors agreed to form a task force to oversee the investigation of OH's Coingate & to pursue criminal charges.
