What Are Election Opponents Afraid Of In Minnesota?
October 21, 2008
Minnesota Lawyer posts videos from two candidates for Minnesota Supreme Court: incumbent Lorie Skjerven Gildea and challenger Deborah Hedlund. Both show serious, thoughtful candidates who are fully capable of discussing their qualifications in a dignified manner that is fully accessible to every fair-minded Minnesota voter. Is this the type of nasty judicial campaigning that would justify denying Minnesota citizens the right to vote for judges, as “merit” selection proponents favor? According to Minnesota Lawyer, both candidates have even set up Facebook pages to help voters understand their background and judicial philosophies. The horror!
