Here's the basic rundown on Joanne Kloppenburg. She's essentially an environmental attorney who has prosecuted mainly for the DNR. Not only has she never been a judge, she has been passed over to be appointed as a judge not only by Republican Governor Tommy Thompson, but also by ultra liberal Jim Doyle and President Obama. None of these men felt she was qualified to be a judge, but she has a strong chance of becoming a Supreme Court Justice.
The unions believe Kloppenburg will help overturn Governor Walker's budget repair bill. I can't help but wonder why they believe that so strongly. It would be less than appropriate for her to indicate how she might rule on the case before even being elected, but something has the left believing that. Money is pouring in from everywhere for TV ads. One ad in particular being run by the Greater Wisconsin Committee accuses David Prosser of failing to prosecute a priest for molestation back when Prosser was a District Attorney. The ad is not even close to being accurate and one of the victims of the priest in question has requested the Greater Wisconsin Committee pull the ad and has requested that Kloppenburg encourage the GWC to pull the ad. Both requests have went ignored. Here's the statement from the victim.
From http://wispolitics.com/1006/110324_Troy_Merryfield_Statement__1_.pdf
This is from his statement:
Signed- Troy Merryfield
Kloppenburg has refused to ask the GWC to pull the ad saying they as a 3rd party have a 1st amendment right to run any ad they choose. The ad is misleading, and offensive to the victim but this is the world of dirty politics from the left. Whatever it takes to win, that's what they will do.
A good commentary about Kloppenburg.

Many people, my own mother included have been duped by the lying attack ads against David Prosser. Conservatives need to step up and share the truth about this race. We need a qualified Justice, not a prosecutor for the DNR.
Obviously many people are against Scott Walker and the budget repair bill. I know a lot of these people and many are conservative and would NEVER think of voting for someone like Kloppenburg in any other case. Yet they will vote for her because of their own pocketbook. These people need to be reminded that this is a ten year vote they are making. A ten year vote over ONE issue because it may put money back in their pocket. Shame Shame Shame!!
The election is only five days away. Be sure to get out and vote for David Prosser!
