 <description>Fred Dailey &lt;em&gt;lives&lt;/em&gt; in Knox County, but his fundraising is still pretty lame.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

 <title>He&#039;s in Knox County?</title>

 <description>Crites is scheduled to appear at the grand opening of the Knox County Republican headquarters very soon according to an article in the Mount Vernon News (8-4). That ought to bring in the big bucks for him.</description>

 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ohiovalleypolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/lamb-chop-hand-puppet.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border: 0px none ; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px&quot; src=&quot;http://www.ohiovalleypolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/lamb-chop-hand-puppet-thumb.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;lamb_chop_hand_puppet&quot; width=&quot;197&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; While &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cordrayforohio.com/&quot;&gt;Richard Cordray&lt;/a&gt; is out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cordrayforohio.com/the_latest/release_cordray_raises_over_19.html&quot;&gt;raising cash&lt;/a&gt; for his run for Attorney General, it appears that Mike Crites is out there doing pretty much nothing.
&lt;p&gt;Crites &lt;a href=&quot;http://www2.sos.state.oh.us/pls/portal/PORTAL_CF.CF_QRY_CAND_COVERPAGE1.show?p_arg_names=year&amp;amp;p_arg_values=2008&amp;amp;p_arg_names=report_type&amp;amp;p_arg_values=1100&amp;amp;p_arg_names=report_key&amp;amp;p_arg_values=101440&quot;&gt;filed today&lt;/a&gt; and I must say they are some pretty impressive numbers:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Amt Forward: $.00&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Contributions Recieved: $.00&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Other Income: $.00&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Balance on Hand: $.00&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, a candidate really doesn&amp;#39;t have to do any fundraising when the ORP is paying all your bills. And obviously they&amp;#39;re doing this with no strings attached. It&amp;#39;s not like Crites will be Bob Bennett&amp;#39;s puppet if he actually manages to win or anything.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lamb also tried to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politickeroh.com/crites-wants-dig-danns-mess&quot;&gt;pull the Marc Dann scandal back into the public spotlight&lt;/a&gt;, even though it&amp;#39;s not really relevant anymore. Thankfully, the Cordray campaign hit back:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard Cordray acted on behalf of at least 4.7 million Ohioans who want to see unfair credit card practices brought to a halt. If the fines, fees, and charges that credit card companies rack up at the expense of working families make such a huge difference to the corporate bottom line, imagine what it means to working families who are trying to juggle rising gas and food prices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His opponent, on the other hand, wants to form a committee...to do something the office is already doing: managing and cooperating with ongoing investigations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, Rich Cordray and the state&amp;#39;s Democratic leaders acted in the best interest of Ohioans and the Attorney General&amp;#39;s office three months ago when they asked and received Dann&amp;#39;s resignation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where was D. Michael Crites during that crisis?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cordray is showing real-time leadership while Crites is once again behind the curve.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Crites get&amp;#39;s slapped down yet again.&lt;/p&gt;
