I agree with you completely.

But if you look at this particular race for Chief Justice:

The incumbent is really, blatantly, slimy and corrupt, and the challenger looks pretty great - many years judging 'real people' cases; born, raised, schooled in Ohio; breast cancer surviver; tons of community work, and a son in the marines.

It doesn't surprise me that republicans defected to vote against Moyer or that Connally did so well despite her opponents insurance-lobby funded campaign.

I don't want to hear about funding or party-line voting or a comparison between Kerry and Connally as 'evidence'.

I voted Kucinich in the Primary and have never voted a straight party line (came from Queens NYC and the 'party machine' put up some real losers)

Circumstantial, coincidental and un-provable. Like trying to prove Florida fraud based on Dixiecrat votes without doing the homework to see that they're predictably cross-voters.

These cases hurt credibility and there are so many credible and provable lines that will be glossed over as a result.

Oh yeah, the sad part - this lady would have won if not for the disenfranchisement. They need to ask her advise instead of casting a shadow on her achievement of nearly unseating the most powerful, and possibly most corrupt, official in Ohio.
