OH-2: WTF!?!? Candidate Black donated to Mary Taylor, Greg Hartmann, Bob Taft, Ken Blackwell...

Sorry if I'm late to the party, but I wanted to learn more about Stephen Black, the attorney running against Victoria Wulsin in the Democratic primary for the Second Congressional district.  I'm not happy with what I've found.

According to the Secretary of State's Office, Mr. Black has a history of writing checks for Republicans, and a sparse history of financially supporting the Democratic Party.

During the Republican primaries in 2006, Black wrote checks for Mary Taylor and Greg Hartmann.  He made no donations to any of the Democratic statewide candidates.

In 2004 and 2003, Black donated to Jim Petro and Chief Justice Moyer's campaigns.  Again, no Democratic donations.

In 2002, he donated to Justice Stratton's campaign.  The only Democratic campaign he donated to was Tim Black for Supreme Court.

In 2001, Black donated to Bob Taft, Jim Petro, Betty Montgomery, and Joe Deters.  No donations to any Democrats.

In 2000, he donated to Betty Montgomery, with the only Democratic donation going to Tim Black.

1999 saw another donation to Jim Petro.

1998, he donated to Ken Blackwell and Bob Taft.  He donated $25 to Richard Cordray's campaign as well.

Seriously, he wrote checks for Republican in 2006, and only wrote one check for a Democratic Court of Appeals candidate in Hamilton County.  That's it!

Black's history of federal donations is also a mixed bag.  Earlier this year, Black donated to Barack Obama's campaign and to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.  Last fall, Black also cut a check for his now primary opponent, Victoria Wulsin, and Steve Chabot's opponent, John Cranley.

However, in 1999, Black donated to Elizabeth Dole's presidential exploratory committee.  In 1997, he also donated to a Republican congressional candidate in Virginia.

Any thoughts???
