Why do I continue reading this crap?

Well... because it's really funny, of course.

First, take a look at the tables on the left- specifically the sum of California contributions by state (for 2005 and 2006) for each candidate. Note: Blackwell has raised almost SIX TIME AS MUCH money from California than Strickland.

Then, read this blog post called The Elusive Ted Strickland by Matt Naugle:

Apparently, Ted Strickland would rather be on the "left coast", raising money from Hollywood liberals than voting to provide funding for equipment and resources for our brave troops....

It must be that, to Ted Strickland, fundraising from nutty California liberals is more important than our troops, health care policy or higher education. Ted's priorities are out of whack.

It's funny because it's NOT true.
