The Cleveland Plain Dealer recommended a GOP judge who has sat on the bench for 16 years. Her name is Joan Synenberg. She lost yesterday to a democrat named Brian Mooney.
Synenberg was recommended by six different bar associations. Brian Mooney was rated as "Not Recommended" by two bar associations. he refused to participate in the other four bar associations. He also didn't show up for the Cleveland Plain Dealer interview for them making recommendations.
He didn't campaign, buy advertising, or show up at any events (not even Democrat events). Most lawyers don't even know who he is. In fact, many felt he was a plant by Synenberg to keep anyone from running against her that might be credible. I am willing to bet that Mr. Mooney is the most surprised person on the planet (not named Kari) and has no idea how to be a judge.
So what changed for the best judge in CLE to lose reelection after 16 years? My only guess is RvW (even though local judges have zero to do with it)
