...advising patients to vote for her. On the other side, Citizens for an Independent Court, a union-and lawyer-backed political action committee, has attacked Stratton with an ad that contrasts men laughing in a limousine--depicted as "their side"--with a family at a picnic table and a welder at work--described as "our side." The most brazen of the ads, run by a group calling itself Competition Ohio but bankrolled by AT&T, accuses local phone provider SBC Ameritech of doubling rates and taking away consumer choice and suggests that a Stratton victory would mean lower phone bills...
