DescriptionHoping to cow fellow contenders, candidates have begun crowing about campaign cash.

...

Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, who says he has a polling lead over his GOP rivals for governor — Attorney General Jim Petro and Auditor Betty D. Montgomery — reported raising $1.24 million over the past six months, with $1.1 million on hand.

...

Petro will report about $3 million on hand on Friday, said Matt Cox, Petro’s campaign manager.

...

Montgomery campaign spokesman Mark R. Weaver said, "We expect to have more than Blackwell and less than Petro."

...

In the Democratic gubernatorial race, U.S. Rep. Ted Strickland is expected to report raising $1 million during the nearly 11 weeks since he declared his candidacy.

Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman, meanwhile, will report more than $1 million in his gubernatorial coffer, spokesman Dan Trevas said.
