There were just about every Republican member of the region's statehouse delegation, including Rep. Joe Fischer, who came over from Campbell County, and Rep. Jon David Reinhardt of Claryville, who rarely comes out for political events and fund raisers. There was even some big money flowing across the Ohio River from new Cincinnati Reds owner Carl Lindner and former Reds majority owner Marge Schott. There were lots of Republican elected and party officials, including all three Kenton County commissioners. I can't believe that many people showed up three years before an election. It's amazing to me.
Politicians run on money.
It's their gas, their fuel. Kenton County Attorney Garry Edmondson, the Democratic incumbent Mr. Deters wants to knock off in 2003, hasn't held any campaign events, at least none talked about. He might want to start. Having money in a campaign does matter. It's not all that's important, but it's darn important.
