Nothing unexpected.

With all those trips to New York and DC for fundraisers, it's no surprise that Strickland has reported quite the fundraising haul.

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland has reported raising $2.5 million toward his re-election bid in 2010, setting up another expensive race for the Midwest swing state's top political job.

$416,667 a month for Ted from January 1st til June 30th. Solid work. Not quite the Rob Portman standard of $565,000 a month, but very solid work.

And not unexpected.
