The arcane and not well understand process of selecting State Supreme Court candidates begins tonight as the Conservatives hold their nominating convention at midnight. Its more a free dinner paid for by the candidates than a convention and the Conservatives want to big foot the GOP into upholding the so called "gentleman's agreement." That would allow smaller counties to retain a local justice...
A lots at stake for these candidates...The 14 year term office...new higher salaries of $175K....full bennies....no office overhead....and the love and admiration of the legal community......Like West Virginia...it's almost Heaven.
No word on the Indy convention which Dems have spurned because the convenor is under indictment...actually its because they didn't cut the deal properly. Once you get the "line" , nobody cares how you got it.....
I have met four candidates and like them all...McCluskey, Merrill, Young and the Gall lass from Oneida County....Seems a fair enough group to me....They must not feel the same about me as I have yet to see a lawn sign on Pearl Street.

Erin Gall is the new Roxy. She has my vote.
Is Merrill the Judge that presided over the "Coleman" Case?
There will never, EVER, be a new Roxy. Now I like the Gall girl, but to compare her to the most beautiful woman in our world is foolishness.
