There's a plus/minus rate of about 150,000 votes that decide these trustee races.

Personally, I'd get straight ticket off the ballot. It rewards laziness, and frankly I get real insulted when my vote is cancelled out by some drone who doesn't know anything about any of the candidates.

We won two of the three Supreme Court seat despite an 8-9pt loss. Those aren't covered by straight ticket.

Republicans are more apt to vote downticket anyway, so I'm not afraid of taking a small shot to the chin in my county if it means four of the counties I border take a haymaker to the chin.
