Think about what is best for the state not your party. Don't vote against the bill because it will cost your party some $. That is partisan politics at its worst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your party is in great shape.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4870905574657583796/1461758645161879070/comments/default/1308741035786400570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4870905574657583796/1461758645161879070/comments/default/1308741035786400570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.underthedome.com/2007/01/hb1225-non-partisan-elections-for.html?showComment=1170442980000#c1308741035786400570' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.underthedome.com/2007/01/hb1225-non-partisan-elections-for.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870905574657583796.post-1461758645161879070' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4870905574657583796/posts/default/1461758645161879070' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870905574657583796.post-1342626865867443790</id><published>2007-01-31T17:51:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2007-01-31T17:51:00.000-06:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm not a constituent but I love and appreciate yo...</title><content type='html'>I'm not a constituent but I love and appreciate your blog! You are setting a great example for communication with lots of constituents!  &lt;br /&gt;    Anybody who thinks that 'nonpartisan' elections has done anything to improve the judiciary is not a political activities and certainly not a political donor.  All it does is allow the judicial candidates to be non-accountable and to raise money from folks in any and all political parties.  &lt;br /&gt;    The barriers that prosecutors face has little to do with partisanship.  I hope that the politics of this bill allow you to vote against it, but I will understand if not.  If most of the prosecutors hang tough, this bill will not pass.  I wish I could join hands with them at the legislature!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4870905574657583796/1461758645161879070/comments/default/1342626865867443790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4870905574657583796/1461758645161879070/comments/default/1342626865867443790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.underthedome.com/2007/01/hb1225-non-partisan-elections-for.html?showComment=1170287460000#c1342626865867443790' title=''/><author><name>Betsey Wright</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.underthedome.com/2007/01/hb1225-non-partisan-elections-for.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870905574657583796.post-1461758645161879070' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4870905574657583796/posts/default/1461758645161879070' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
