Wowzers – Linda Pence may have just done some serious damage to her political campaign to the state’s top lawyer by  being too lawyerly!  It’s times like this that Republican A.G. nominee Greg Zoeller (and current Deputy A.G.) must really be grateful to have an opponent who produces her own negative fodder.  Keep it up Linda Lou!From the Post-Tribune:

National polls tilt toward Democrat Barack Obama taking the White House this fall, and conventional wisdom is that Democratic presidents seldom appoint federal prosecutors who will aggressively pursue corruption charges against Democratic politicians.
