Critiquing Judge's Campaign
So my boy, Joseph Sommers, got smoked in the primary for Wisconsin Supreme Court last week. Annette Ziegler took 57% of the vote, which blows my mind.
Not that I'm pooh-pooing Ziegler, but she's running on the classic, totally overdone "tough on criminals, tough former prosecutor" thing.
Pardon me for being skeptical, but I want my elected prosecutors to be tough on criminals, not judges. I want judges to be tough on criminals to the extent they're tough on prosecutors. (Sommers was the only candidate with the sac to say that, which, along with no money, is probably why he got smoked).
The next time a judge runs on a "tough on prosecutors" message, I'll donate to their campaign right after I wake up from fainting.

I think he lost mostly because of money. I never saw a single ad for him anywhere, but Ziegler's ads I saw all the time. "As the only candidate with experience as a judge..." That's the ballgame right there with no one to argue something else.
