Stupid Supreme Court campaign tricks

Campaigns are a lot of work. Especially statewide campaigns. You have to go all over the state, meet lots of people and take pictures to use on your campaign website and literature.

Unless you are Annette Ziegler, a woman running for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court against Linda Clifford. Annette Ziegler doesn't appear to have the time to actually go to courthouses in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Waukesha and Washington Counties for photos. Why do that when you can just Photoshop the different county names into one picture and use it over and over again from slightly different angles?

Go here to Ziegler's event's section and scroll over those four counties and watch the picture change slightly each time. Isn't it amazing that all four counties have their courthouse located at 432 E. Washington Street? What are the odds of that?

If you can't even trust this woman to tell the truth about what courthouse she is standing in front of, you shouldn't trust a whole lot that comes out of her mouth on the campaign trail. And is she going to cut and paste different names on court decisions and hand those in as her finished product if she gets to the bench?

If this is the kind of effort Ziegler is going to put into her campaign, donors should be wary of writing her checks. It seems unlikely the donations will be spent well.

UPDATE: The Ziegler campaign seems to have taken down the doctored photos. If you missed the fun, you can check them out here at Folkbum's blog. Thanks to Jay for saving them for us!
