 <title>The best judiciary BIG money can buy</title>
 <link>http://www.bluedonkeys.com/node/505</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;John Groen and Stephen Johnson have together raised $1.5 million as of today for their Supreme Court races, mainly from the Building Industry of Washington and a Virginia-based PAC called Americans Tired of Lawsuit Abuse.  (Three times as much as their competitors!) They're using the money for lots of nasty attack ads.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read all about all of the candidates at the non-partisan website &lt;a href="http://www.votingforjudges.org"&gt; VotingForJudges.org&lt;/a&gt; - you'll find out what their positions are, where there financial support is coming from and how they're being rated by the Bar Association and local newspapers.   Then chose the incumbents: Susan Owens, Gerry Alexander and Tom Chambers.  Oh, and Joel Penoyer for Court of Appeals.&lt;/p&gt;
