Oh, by the way, did you know that Greer was re-elected to the bench in 2004?

Yup. I did. By a big margin too. I read there were some irregularities about his campaign. Wanna take bets that he gets away with it?

I read there were some irregularities about his campaign.

According to The Empire Journal, Greer claimed to have received endorsements (or what ordinary readers/viewers would perceive to be endorsements) from people forbidden to give them. If the public doesn't know that various officials aren't allowed to give endorsements, and sees that a particular candidate has received a bunch, they're apt to think favorably of that candidate, not realizing he's breaking the law.

IMHO, what will come out in the wash is that the Pinellas County GOP makes the Illinois GOP look like saints, and that they didn't want a judge who would disrupt their 'death mill' operation. Unfortunately, since Govan was forbidden from talking about any of Greer's actions as judge (what sort of campaign law is that!?) he couldn't counter the illegal GOP endorsement mailings with facts.

I wonder how bumper stickers would sell that said:
Sorry I voted for Greer
IMPEACH HIM NOW!
