The GOP committee had provided $4,750 in in-kind services to Law for campaign literature and polling earlier in the campaign, but unleashed $152,614 in nine in-kind contributions between Oct. 22 and Nov. 3, according to the Ohio Secretary of State's office.
Law's campaign on its own also raised and spent about $17,000, based on his campaign expense filings before and after the general election.
Sferra's post-general election campaign finance report was not available on the Secretary of State's Web site on Tuesday. Earlier in his campaign for a third term he had spent $14,735 and had $5,147 on hand.
Then they mention some Dems who outspent thugs in other counties, but nothing at all suspicious. Surely nothing like the GOP dropping 150 grand (800% of what the candidate raised himself) in the two weeks before the election in the county that would end up locking down the building to count the votes that Bush won by a lot!
