While Montgomery is known as more moderate on some social issues, she has challenged many liberal positions, most notably in her bid to end what she termed "inexcusable" legal delays in Ohio's system of capital punishment. However, Montgomery's positions were less of an issue in the 2006 campaign than was her slow action as auditor in investigating the BWC Coingate scandal of Tom Noe, one of her campaign contributors. Marc Dann hit this note repeatedly in the 2006 campaign ads, and won a narrow victory over the relatively popular Montgomery.

Famous quotes containing the word views:
“Political correctness is the natural continuum from the party line. What we are seeing once again is a self-appointed group of vigilantes imposing their views on others. It is a heritage of communism, but they don’t seem to see this.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The word “conservative” is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”
—Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)
