Interesting ad from that ketchup guy

I notice after the TV ad for Democratic Supreme Court hopeful Menis Ketchum moves past the segment offering cutesy takes on how to pronounce his name, the narrator says he'll restore integrity to the court.

Usually when someone makes that claim, it's a veiled reference to a current controversy.

In this case the big one involving the court is the ties to Massey CEO Blankenship of Justices Maynard and Benjamin.

The ad doesn't mention Blankenship, though.

Wonder why?

From the Daily Mail in February:

At least two candidates for the state Supreme Court - Beth Walker and Menis Ketchum -met with Massey Energy chief Don Blankenship prior to filing for the election this year.
