Let him be what he ran as, an Independent. He had a cross section of R's, D's and I's involved with his campaign. As far as the D party is concerned they lost this race to what they referred to Bell as, a Noe Republican!

But I'm not with you on the mayor's race. Wilko had quite a climb (and almost pulled it off) to beat someone with instant widespread name ID. And given Toledo's penchant to support cults of personality (three terms of Carty) over more substantive, policy-oriented managerial types, it's no shock that they went with the cool Harley guy over Keith. I'm not sure how much more Redfern could have done against someone like Bell. Plus, most everyone knows that Bell was historically a longtime Dem. So to the extent that Redfern lost this race, he at least lost it to a Dem.. meghan – Redfern certainly did blow it with all the races you mentioned – council and muni court.

Between losing a key judicial race, Toledo mayor, and having 2 Republicans in the top 3 on Toledo City Council. Interesting how the R judicial candidates for Toledo Municipal Court always do well and currently hold 5of 7 seats in that court. And then there is the issues with Stricklands latest Dem appointment to the Court of Appeals! Looks like this Democrat town enjoys the handouts only at certain levels of government. When it comes to safety they want tough but fair judges and now a mayor that will be strong on safety and not play the 'take away essential city services' game with your tax dollars!

He was right to remain silent: in Lucas County alone, he forked over ODP money to the ill-fated English effort and even sent out a slate piece putting English's name at the top of the list - above even Wilko! Not enough for you? We can also assume that he was totally behind the Guv's pick to put Cosme (who most predict will get smacked next year) on the court of appeals. And beyond Toledo, we can assume that he's behind the Guv's very controversial judicial appointments in Columbus. If Redfern continues this stuff, he'll garner the dubious distinction of being responsible for the election of more Republican judges than Voinovich, Taft, Bob Bennett and Kevin DeWine combined!
