Ohio GOP's Financial Support Wavering

[NVMojo]

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - As the GOP scrambles nationwide to retain its majority, scandal-ridden Ohio appears to be falling off the financial radar screen.

Television time is being forsaken for House candidates. And national promotions of the state's gubernatorial candidate by the Republican Governors Association popped up, then disappeared.

Ohio Republicans are trying to regroup amid a guilty plea Friday by U.S. Rep. Bob Ney in a Washington influence-peddling case and the trial of GOP fundraiser Tom Noe - accused of stealing from a state investment in rare coins - set to begin next week. Their national counterparts are following suit, focusing every last penny on races they believe they can win.

Those include U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine's seat, which is being hotly contested by U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown; U.S. Rep. Deborah Pryce's seat, which Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy is seeking; and the seat Ney is vacating, which the party hopes state Rep. Joy Padgett can win over Democrat Zach Space.

3. That's a downer

Let's see what they come up with.
Zack Space didn't brush his teeth on May 14, 1960. Zack Space missed a tackle when he played football. Zack Space caught a fish and threw it back in. Whatever it is won't have anything to do with Zack. It will be about scary democrats.

Send money.
