Reply #75: Moyer "Highly Recommended" by Ohio Bar Association....

[LiberalHeart]

...in this past election, along with two other Republicans running for spots on the Ohio Supreme Court. The Dem candidates had lesser ratings, with the woman running against Moyer getting only an "Adequate".

I don't really know much about the makeup of the Ohio Bar Association, so I don't know if that simply means Republicans were backing a fellow Republican -- but, as a voter, I have relied on those ratings when deciding who to vote for. Party affliation does not appear on the ballot next to the names of those vying for judicial positions. At least that's the case in Ohio; I dunno about other states.

I voted for Lanzinger despite her being a Republican because I followed some of her cases in county court and liked what I saw. And yes, I voted for Moyer -- because "Highly Recommended" looked a hell of a lot better to me than "Adequate".
