I'm in the wrong business. Investigating corruption in government is a lucrative field in Ohio these days. Check out the numbers.

Here's how the Democrats are playing this in the public.

Also Wednesday, Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman, a Democratic candidate for governor, proposed a new state Office of Public Integrity and toughening state law to make public corruption a felony instead of a misdemeanor.

Coleman said the office should include an anti-corruption prosecutor to pursue charges against violators of state ethics and corruption laws.

“When wrongdoing occurs, we need these cases in the hands of someone with full prosecutorial authority, and we need to strengthen the law to ensure the guilty receive more than a slap on the wrist,” Coleman said.

Coleman said the current system “just isn’t working” because Petro, Montgomery and Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell “have been compromised by the campaign money they received from Noe and their failure to adequately exercise their authority under Ohio law.”

Money influencing elections? Really? Like maybe teacher's unions or trial lawyers?

Double standard or not, this is the reality the GOP has to deal with.
