I'm already sick of them.  This controversy over the Butler vs. Gableman ads is driving me nuts too.  I especially hate the latest Butler ad that cites statistics that show that he sided with the prosecution 97% of the time (though Gableman is running on the same idea too).  In my view, that means you're a poor judge.  You're not supposed to "side" with anyone except the truth.  There are a lot of miscarriages of justice... and not just against the victims of crime.  There are wrongful prosecutions as well.  People get railroaded.  Exculpatory evidence is hidden from the defense by the prosecutors.  Judges are supposed to be neutral, not a prosecutors friend.

Of course, these ads are just cookie cutter out of the standard judicial script.  Pretty much every judicial ad I've seen in the last 10+ years has followed the model.  Some things just never change.

Update:  And here is good commentary on the Gableman ad (via Dave).  So now I have a quandary.  Gableman's ad makes me want to vote for Butler, and Butler's ad makes me want to vote for Gableman.  Aren't candidates supposed to create ads that make me want to vote for them, and not their opponent?
