"This is a victory for the taxpayers and all those who believe that elections should be conducted in an evenhanded and fair manner," Eric told me when I spoke with him over the weekend.

Yes, you've read that name here before!  Mr. Doster is the kid of guy we talk about here on this site every day, the dream sort of candidate.  I've known him for years and know personally that he's a real life, honest to goodness staunch conservative who's articulate and intelligent enough to express himself and driven enough to get the job done.  And as the Macomb Daily pointed out, he's willing to put himself out there too, running this year for a seat on the bench.  In a tough race.

It's always important to remember the non-partisan portion of the ballot when we go to the voting booth on Election Day.  With a chance to put a jurist like Eric Doster on the bench it's that much more critical.  Write the name down if you have to.  Tape it to a piece of string and tie it to your finger.  Just make sure when you flip through the ballot to vote for the 3rd District Court of Appeals you don't let a chance like this slip through your hands.

What?  A fan?  Me?  What gives you that idea?
