Crites ‘Million Dollar Baby’ … In His Own Mind
Reports tonight out of Columbus show GOP sacrificial lamb, G. Michael Crites, has raised an astounding $75 grand to wage his campaign for Attorney General.
The other news is that G. Michael Crites is now “Mike Crites,” friend of the common man. From the Crites campaign:
Columbus – The following statement can be attributed in whole or in part to Mike Crites, Republican candidate for Ohio Attorney General:
“Today’s filing represents just the beginning of a groundswell of support that my campaign has received over the past few weeks. With our team now in place and operating at full capacity, we expect these numbers to grow quickly.
Political sources report that Crites’ astounding total of $75 large, included a $30k donation from the Ohio Republican Party. That’s $30k that won’t be spent on House races. Thanks, Mike!
