I am voting for Erika Ballou. Signs are 1980s. Endorsements are 1980s. I want new blood on the bench.

Yes, it does. Go campaign instead of trolling, Dan Gilliam. I understood the sentence.

Dan has this one in the bag and will win by 20 percent or better.

I would laugh and laugh and laugh if Ballou won this race. I cannot imagine she would serve a full term without being removed from the bench for one reason or another.

I agree with the comment above that Gilliam should win this race easily. But remember, anything can happen in a judicial race, and the public doesn't know either candidate.
