Couldn’t ask for anything more

Follow this link to the Southern Illinoisan’s endorsement of GOP Supreme Court candidate Lloyd Karmeier. They’re pretty blunt at that paper, and they obviously don’t like Democrat Gordon Maag.

Maag and Karmeier are as different as night and day.

Maag has worked as a trial attorney in Madison County, notorious for outlandish jury verdicts, which have enriched many, many lawyers. Maag also served as an associate judge in Madison County.

But ask Maag about his Madison County ties and he grows visibly angry and tries to disassociate himself from Madison County.

In Illinois State Bar Association polls, fellow lawyers have given Maag a big thumbs down.

That editorial is so good for Karmeier that his campaign probably couldn’t have written it better themselves (especially considering Friday’s campaign press release referring to a “tidle wave”).

There is a lot you do not know about Judge Maag……. If anyone did, they would know….. Why don’t you take a minute to find out?????? Oh guess it is too late - we will leave it to Karmeier to solve the problem in Madison County………. Yeah right… TBC…….
