That's not fair, Fisher and Brunner are already statewide elected officials
Who really knows their Lt. Governor? Seriously. It was different in PA for awhile because of the infamous late CBK but most people didn't know her either.
Brunner is the Secretary of State. I doubt many know who their state Secretary of State is in Ohio.
Well, if you've voted for the guy then you'll get higher name recognition and you know if he was some crazy insane guy (say a Kucunich that never ran for president) you might have heard by now on the news if he was elected statewide.
