Now they tell us—Gableman wasn’t qualified after all

Yesterday, the day after Michael Gableman won a spot on the Supreme Court by running an ad suggesting that Louis Butler had the backing of the state’s child rapists, turned out to be the day that some conservatives started suggesting that Gableman might not be qualified to serve on the Court.

First, Xoff finds this from a “savvy listener” at Charlie Sykes Web site.

Shame on conservatives from letting 2006 hangover result in putting up such a completely lame slate of candidates. Gleisner-Neubauer, (and even Gableman) were embarrassing choices to have on the ballot, and were the result of Republicans moping around buying into the "death of the party" woe is me message the MSM has been spinning.

Then, Christian Schnieder, the blogger for the state’s very conservative Wisconsin Policy Research Institute notes:

But now that he’s on the Court, Gableman will have to prove that he was worthy of all the support he received. He has to display an intelligence and grasp of the issues that seemed to be lacking in his campaign. In short, he has to bloom where the voters planted him.

Of course a solution would have been to simply support the candidate in the race who had been judge longer than Gableman had been a lawyer, but who am I to say anything.
