The article did not mention the leaning of the Mackinac Center. So far right that they in the ditch. If one looks at a list of Judges in the state they would notice a lot of the names are Irish out-state and Polish in the Detroit metro area. I'm sure the Center has a theory for that too. They never let the qualifications get in the way of judgement.

Yikes, we did not think things were THAT bad in the Democrat ranks! They will soon have to use sticky flypapers to capture someone to run for their party now that they include all sorts of degenerate behaviour as normal.

This is the same type of thinking that resulted in Obama.
The Democrats apparently don't know the meaning of the word word "qualified" in their micosopic brains.

This strategy worked for Loretta Brixey in California, who finally got elected by changing her name to Loretta Sanchez.

In Ohio, Maureen O'Connor has been on the Supreme Court since 2003 and Chief Justice since 2011. So perhaps there is something to that. Maureen was on the 2011 Irish Legal 100 (Irish Voice). Maybe Michigan is on to something. Perhaps there will be a followup on November 7.

I can tell yo, given the race, it is clear that some favor femals candidates. In my work and in my own running for a local office, some have told me that they chose me due to my name, and it is very common that people hire me because I am a woman. (Which is interesting, because that means different things). It is about their perception of me or the candidate, not vice versa.
