Jennifer Brunner has managed a remarkable turnaround in Ohio, overseeing an election with transparency, accountability and best of all for the voters, relatively few snags in a key battleground state. Despite numerous Republican attempts to throw up roadblocks and impugn her integrity, she remained steadfast in her responsibilities (despite receiving death threats along the way). Quite a contrast from the Kenneth Blackwell charade of 2004 which probably would have landed Blackwell in prison if Kerry had won and a special prosecutor been appointed to investigate what actually happened.

I would look for Brunner to have an excellent future not only in Ohio politics, but on the national level as well. She is another example of the kind of woman who is drawn to the Democratic Party vs. the Palinesque Stepford Wives of the woefully out-of-touch GOP.

ADDED COMMENT: Why did MSNBC keep interviewing Blackwell all weekend and IDing him as a "McCain Supporter"? Seems to me that's like having John Wilkes Booth on and calling him "Democrat".
