Winnig admits little chance of winning

You don't hear this very often: "Joel Winnig doesn't expect to win in his bid for a place on the State Supreme Court," reports the Capital Times. "But he's hoping his candidacy will add a positive note to an electoral process that in recent years has been marked by rancor. 'I'd just like to see it cleaner,' says the longtime Madison attorney."

Meanwhile a featured link at Mr. Winnig's website is to a piece by columnist Joel McNally that calls Michael Gableman "a low life."

Gableman is not running, but expect him to figure prominently.
