Wisconsin State Supreme Court Race Update

Yesterday, this flyer from Supreme Court candidate Joseph Sommers was placed under the windshield wipers of cars in the parking lot at the Barnes and Noble on the west side:





















I didn't know anything about Sommers, the darkhorse third candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court, until I found this edifying piece of literature.

Unfortunately, that was probably to his advantage - it smacks of a little too much conspiracy theorizing for me. It's intriguing, though, how he attacks Linda Clifford pretty much exclusively in the piece, leaving Judge Annette Ziegler out of it. The Ed Thompson endorsement is interesting, too.

The February 20th Statewide Primary - which I had all but forgotten about - could prove interesting. It may fly completely below the radar, which gives it the potential for a Hundertmark/Voegeli situation where one of the "major" candidates stands to lose to a complete unknown simply because a male name is on the ballot and none of the candidates have tried or been able to penetrate with any kind of meaningful publicity. A small enough turnout and it might just happen.
