As bloggers nothing makes us more happy than to see blogs being created to bash other candidates. What makes us baffled and peeved is when bloggers like the writers over at www.stoplembke.com , post PR cookie cutter press release posts with out putting any emotion into their argument. Thats why when I have done political consulting in the past, I always make sure the grass roots die hards are the ones delivering the message via the internet. Remember in blogging whether it be a branding campaign or a political campaign you must sound authentic. Now not everything on GWP is authentic and from the heart but there’s passion. StopLembke.com while a really fun and great social media strategy isn’t really a blog, its an ad.

GWP you are right, I just visited the site. It sound like a bunch of grown men and women complaining about loosing power over the courts. I don’t know which side has the better argument, but I am sure we need change. Judges are legislating from the bench.

Judges are legislating from the bench? I’m interested in examples of this activity. If you are talking about Illinois, I could understand your concerns. However, if you are referring to judges here in Missouri then we should talk. I would like to see this evidence.
The Missouri Court Plan is one of the strongest, most non-partisan plans in the country. In fact, many states model their court plans after seeing the success of our own. I will agree that some could find flaws in our system but no system is perfect. You have to decide what is most important to you. Ignorance of the law is not a defense. Do you want to see Missouri laws drastically change every four or so years as they would under a partisan plan? Could you imagine if the U.S. Supreme Court changed that frequently?
