I am worried about the Supreme Court race.
All I am hearing on the radio and seeing on television are ads for Gableman telling how many endorsements he has by law enforcement and DAs. I have heard very little in favor of Butler so I presume that people who make up their minds according to mass media aren't going to know anything about him except what they hear from these sleazy ads.

7. And I've Noticed That Several Articles On zeigler's UNPRECEDENTED "Election"
have mysteriously been removed. Oh, and her placement on the WSC was UNPRECENDENTED NATIONALLY.

2. I don't watch much network tv, but the other day
I was visiting my grandmother and I heard Butler's new ad play during the noon news on the Wausau station. I thought that was promising, but, like I said, I don't watch much network television. It might have been a one-time thing.

3. 14 judges out of almost 300
he's got sheriffs, but not police associations.
one sheriff, not the whole department.

Talk to your friends, take a walk around the neighborhood and let people know how you feel.

Printout Butler's biography and Gablemans.

He had one arson case as a prosecutor, and lost.
As a judge, he had one, a car was burned by a girlfriend, no violent crimes and no robberies since he was annointed.

Gableman is not a qualified to judge animal court.

4. Heck, most people probably don't even know there's an election
or when it is- I just have the feeling Butler must have a lot less money. I've heard everything in these ads debunked on our local Air America (and I knew that he only had one arson case) but the wingnuts don't listen to lefty radio.

5. On the positive side, I saw a Butler ad last night
On the negative side- I've heard WMC is going to spend 4 million dollars on Gableman. FOUR MILLION DOLLARS.

6. The pro-Butler group is playing anti-Gableman ads on cable
here in Milwaukee and perhaps elsewhere. The most recent one (which I've seen a few times, and we don't watch much TV) is about how he has given child sex predators sentences that are far below the maximum (just like Ziegler). So, call Judge Gableman and tell him to stop coddling child sex predators.
