<p>I was researching candidates for the upcoming elections, and remembered seeing a few signs for <a href="http://jamoforjudge.com/">Jim Jamo</a>. So, I looked him up. Right on the front page I saw:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We are pleased to announce the Ingham County Sheriff, Gene Wriggelsworth, the UAW Region 1-C Capital Area CAP Council and the Greater Lansing Labor Council AFL &ndash; CIO have joined numerous local Judges, Attorneys and Community Members in endorsing Jim Jamo for Ingham County Circuit Court Judge. Visit the News &amp; Events page for further information.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The first endorsement, Sheriff Wriggelsworth, I have no issue with. But the second and third are from unions. And any candidate endorsed by unions is generally one I avoid. Sometimes it comes down to which candidate has the fewer union endorsements.</p>
<p>Judges are supposed to non-partisan, but we all know that's bunk. Having the unions behind him makes him a liberal, or at least a Democrat. Boo! Boo!</p>
<p>Looking at other candidates, Clinton Canady <a href="http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/99999999/ELECTIONS/305120010/Elections-2010-Ingham-County-list-of-candidates">gave money to Obama</a>, so that makes him a liberal. And he was endorsed by Rosemarie Aquilina, and since my liberal in-laws had a sign for her during the last election, she must be a liberal, too. Anecdotal, yes, but I'll stick with my gut.</p>
