Brunner is honest and works hard. I don't care for her liberal politics, but she did not throw the last election in favor of Obama. Ohio is a purple state and barely went for Bush in 2000 and 2004. Ohio conservatives were (properly) unenthusiastic about John McCain, and many moderates (properly) viewed him as old and a Washington insider.
The long and difficult Iraq War, Bush's unpopularity and the sinking economy made it easier for anyone, including Barack Obama, to sell Ohio fence-sitters on a major "change" in leadership. IMHO, Al Gore would have won here in 2000, and John Kerry in 2004, if either had faced a 72-year-old John McCain. And either of them would have defeated McCain in 2008, too.
McCain was a weak candidate in a very tough election year. Still, if he had strongly opposed the 2008 bail out (and proposed some alternative -- like a tax cut), he might have won Ohio.
I beg to differ. She was a lousy judge and she's a worse Secretary of State.
On August 13, 2008, Brunner ordered county election board officials to establish procedures to enable voters who register to be immediately issued an absentee ballot. Because a voter could show up with only a cell phone bill, give any four digits and claim they were the last four digits of his or her Social Security Number, and then immediately vote and have such ballots put into the same pool as other votes with no procedure for more rigorous scrutiny of their validity, the Republican Party opposed the same day voting plan and fought it in several Ohio Courts.
Is this parody ? She works hard to ensure mass-scale fraud for the rodents, I'll give her that. She ought to be in prison.
Dude no offense but you obviously don’t know what your talking about. Did you miss it when she stole a US house seat a couple months ago? Ever heard of George Soros’s Secretary of State Project, meant to elect dems to control (and steal) elections? Brunner is a gangster.
