If you even thought of not voting tomorrow

because there is nothing to vote on, check this out on the Superior Court candidate Vic Stabile (R).

http://www.pafamily.org/_files/live/Stabile_Vic_-_Superior_Court.pdf

Most candidates for judicial positions will not answer the types of questions that are listed on this form, but Stabile did. I find it really frightening that he says that Scalia and Alito are the SCOTUS justices who most reflect his philosophy.

Vote for Jack McVay, and make sure that others know where Stabile stands.

PSEA sent out an email encouraging us to vote for McVay. However.... Stabile is running an ugly ad about McVay hiring his girlfriend and his sister-in-law.

McVay needs our help.

We have some important local elections here. Trying to keep our county row offices in democrats' hands.

VOTE, EVERYONE!!!

It would be truly frightening to have him on the bench.

In my area, there is zero talk about this race. No signs, no ads.

getting the PA bar to admonish a candidate. That is an impressive accomplishment for Stabile.

I am hoping with all the hope in the world that he loses. I did my part, as little as it is in a state race. I only wish that I had that information a little earlier so that I could have written a LTTE.

Yet, still he keeps running it. Despicable. I can't wait to vote for McVay tomorrow.

If I ever would have to use an absentee ballot, I would definitely get one.....and mail it in time.

Too bad that a very conservative Superior Court judge was elected anyways. I don't know if it is because no one really knows much about these people who run for the judge positions, so don't think it matters, or if PA really is that conservative. Unfortunately, I didn't have the information in enough time to get the word out about Stabile.
