The Ohio Supremes...

One of the many decisions tomorrow for those who select a Democratic ballot is between four candidates for two Ohio Supreme Court seats in the General Election. As you can see by the above poll done by the Columbus Dispatch this is how those races stood:



As the Toledo Blade pointed out back on April 12th, there is a difference in ratings for these candidates as decided by the Ohio State Bar Association.

Judge William O'Neill was rated "recommended"
Judge A.J. Wagner was rated "adequate"

Ben Espy was rated "highly recommended"
Judge Peter Sikora was rated "recommended"

Judge A.J. Wagner and Judge William O'Neill both refused to sign the clean campaign pledge suggested by the Ohio Bar Association as reported in this Blade article.

The Ohio Democratic Party has endorsed Espy and Wagner, so who will voters select? Will they go on the ratings of the Ohio Bar Association and support the two that are listed as more highly qualified or will they go with the ODP and select the other two?

Lisa,

"Will they go on the ratings of the Ohio Bar Association and support the two that are listed as more highly qualified or will they go with the ODP and select the other two?"

I can't bring myself to say what I suspect, but let me put it this way:

What would a Progressive Thinking Democratic voter do?

Probably vote for the two with the higher ratings from the Ohio Bar Association.
