		TOLEDO, Ohio — Money has always been the coin of the political realm, but the unfolding scandal over lost coins in Ohio — old nickels, dimes and gold pieces coveted by collectors and valued into the millions of dollars — is shaking the Republican Party to its grand old roots.

		Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, who is running for the GOP gubernatorial nomination next year, recently called on U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to investigate.

	Swingers: Ohio. - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The traditional Republican formula is not to lose too badly in the Northeast (you need more than 40 percent in Cuyahoga County); to win in Central Ohio (i.e., Franklin County); and to win big in the Southwest (i.e., get more than 60 percent in Hamilton County).
		There are fewer jobs in Ohio than there were when he took office, thanks to a recession and a slow recovery—and Ohio's recovery has been slower than the country's.
		The state Republican party has been embroiled in a legislative scandal involving alleged kickbacks to two powerful aides to the House speaker.

	Ohio Republican Party Oct. 24, 2004 Press Release "...Prevent Voter Fraud"
		Republicans recognize the responsibility of political parties in the 2004 cycle and we believe that it is essential for our system of government to join with the Democratic Party and the Kerry campaign in ensuring a smooth and successful election.
		Ohio has been the target of widespread, systematic voter registration fraud in this election, and if that fraud presents itself at the ballot box, we believe Ohioans would support any effort to challenge it.
		Otherwise, Ohio’s voting process potentially could be manipulated by any illegal voter who claims a phony identity or fails to produce proper identification.
