I never read the Toledo Free press..but had to find it and read it this morning after hearing there was a lawsuit to prevent an article about a book proposal by Republican Kidd and Stainbrook.
http://www.toledofreepress.com/?id=3461Low and behold I read this: (remember Joe Kidd was a well-connected Republican and at the time the director of the Board of Elections.)
snip:
The proposal for “Bush League,” which is credited to Kidd and Stainbrook, states, “Joe revealed the corrupt underbelly of the Republican Party to
through his friend and colleague, Jon Stainbrook. In ‘Bush League,' Joe and Jon, the John Dean and Deep Throat of Coingate, tell the true story of the lies, betrayal, power, sex and the love of money that will forever change our country's future. ... This is also the story of how, with the help of the Republican establishment, Karl Rove stole the election for Bush and how Joe and Jon nearly stopped the Bush campaign cold.”
(Kidd was correct in his accusations of Noe/coingate..could he be ready to spill the beans on the stolen election?)
snip:
After Kidd and Kaczala traded barbs in the local media, the proposal states, Bernadette Noe, Tom Noe's wife and former elections governing board chairwoman, came to see Kidd in his office in January 2004 to ask for his immediate and unconditional resignation.
“She was pissed. That was obvious. Joe had inflicted a bloody wound on her handpicked congressional candidate, but Joe shot himself in both feet at the same time,” the proposal states. “... When Joe refused to leave his post voluntarily, Bernadette with deadly intentions took a page from the Karl Rove dirty tricks play book and went to the county prosecutor, a Democrat, with an unsubstantiated rumor that Joe was taking bribes from Diebold Election Systems, Inc., and that he was (just for good measure), a drug addict and alcoholic.”

The Noe accusations of Kidd were reported in 2005:
