Well at least here in Columbus Ohio, we have a football team we can be proud of.

TOLEDO, Ohio -- A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a GOP fundraiser at the center of an Ohio political scandal to two years and three months in prison for illegally funneling $45,000 to President George W. Bush's re-election campaign

Tom Noe, a former Toledo-area rare coin dealer whose large donations made him a powerful political figure, apologized in court for the scheme to give friends money to donate to Bush to fulfill his promise to generate $50,000 for a presidential fundraiser.

Noe said he arranged the scheme because "in 2003 I was pressured by Bush-Cheney officials to become a Pioneer," a name the campaign gives to people who raise $100,000.

If that's not bad, you should see our Gov. Bob Taft's poll numbers.  OH boy !
