[UPDATE]: Edited to indicate which groups are Republican Party operatives. Also added Cazayoux press release.
Well, we've seen some race-baiting and outright lies by Republican Party operatives - NRCC and Freedoms Watch - over the last two days. I guess they thought that since Don is a Democrat, he would shrivel up into the fetal position, and whine. Think again. It's not 2004 any more ... it's 2008. Democrats today stand up and fight what we all know is right:

The Cazayoux campaign just put out a press release highlighting the ethical lapses of two more folks that are airing negative attack ads against Don (emphasis mine):
Wealthy construction company owner Lane Grigsby also released an ad this week, attacking Cazayoux. Like Republican Woody Jenkins, Grigsby has a background of ethical compliants, including allegedly colluding with a candidate to make an attack ad that "viciously and personally attacked" the candidate's opponent and hiding his company's interest in state contracts to build hurricane shelters.
One more outside interest group, the Club for Growth, began airing ads today lying about Cazayoux's record of middle class tax relief. The Club for Growth is one of the largest and most well known groups advocating extreme and radical tax policies; in 2006, spent $7.4 million to defeat candidates that stand up for middle class tax relief. In October 2007, the Ohio Ethics Commission rebuked the Club for making false statements about one of their targets and in January of 2008 the Club was hit with an FEC complaint for illegally coordinating with a campaign.
