 <description>&lt;p&gt;From US News &amp;amp; World Report:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Judicial elections turn expensive, polarized, and nasty&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;articleByline&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;By Scott Michels&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;articleIssueDate&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Posted 6/16/06&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nor does big spending necessarily trouble everyone. &amp;quot;If you can&amp;#39;t raise money to get your message out, then you don&amp;#39;t have a message,&amp;quot; says Bopp. Justice Terrence O&amp;#39;Donnell, who is running for re-election in Ohio, says the state&amp;#39;s contribution limits prevent judges from being beholden to donors. &amp;quot;What does a $5,000 contribution do in a state the size of Ohio? Probably very little,&amp;quot; he says. (His opponent, William O&amp;#39;Neill, has refused to accept any contributions.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I found this in the Ohio Blogs section and really think it should also appear here. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For, if all eyes are on Ohio as the bellweather in this election cycle, then all eyes should also be on O&amp;#39;Neill, who is running against everything that the is wrong with the &lt;em&gt;pay for play&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;play for pay&lt;/em&gt; administrations in DC and Ohio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Judge Oneill On How Little $5,000 Can Buy These Days¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ &lt;/strong&gt;New¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Submitted by Judge Oneill on Thu, 06/22/2006 - 6:48pm.¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬                          &lt;em&gt;Now here is a great comment for the National Media. Justice Terrence ODonnell, explaining why he is raising MILLIONS to get re-elected against his opponent who is taking NO MONEY FROM NOBODY: Quoted in US News &amp;amp; World Report I don&amp;#39;t believe anyone is going to be influenced for as little as $5,000 in Ohio today Now that is one sad commentary on the state of the judiciary.
