Tiberi, of Genoa Township, said yesterday that he does not support Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and thinks new leadership is needed at the Pentagon. He also fired some shots at Bush. ‘I can’t defend how the president laid out the need for (going to war in Iraq). I don’t support Rumsfeld,’ Tiberi said.

The comments from the three-term congressman came during a meeting before the Dispatch editorial board with challenger Bob Shamansky, whose spokesman revealed that the Bexley Democrat has committed more than $1 million of his own money to the race.

While Tiberi and Shamansky share some of the criticism about how the war has been handled, Shamansky yesterday repeated his contention that it’s time for the United States to end its involvement in Iraq. It’s a mistake ‘to stay the course when you don’t know what the course is,’ he said.

Shamansky, a lawyer and real-estate developer and the last Democrat to represent the district, made a $750,000 contribution to his campaign this week, adding to three earlier donations totaling $255,000.

Go Bob!! Tiberi's got big bucks in the bank and you know he'll be making major media buys. Bob's been working his tail off attending events all over the District. I marched in a parade with him a couple weeks ago and couldn't keep up with him.
He's got his own money in this campaign (which shows how serious he is about winning), but he needs additional support to counter Tiberi's incumbant war chest. Please send Bob Shamansky a couple bucks.
