No, not that one, the other one
The political rumor of the week is that former Oregon Labor Commissioner (and one-time gubernatorial wannabe) Jack Roberts is planning to run for the upcoming vacancy on the Oregon Supreme Court.
Sounds good to me. I know Jack (who comments on this blog from time to time), and he's a great guy and a smart lawyer -- a tax lawyer, no less.
But if the rumor is true, his campaign is going to have to overcome one nagging little marketing obstacle: what you get when you Google-search for "Jack Roberts Supreme Court." Of course, it's this guy.

Works for me.

So, Jack, is it true you're running?
And have you done any recent research on nude dancing?

I am considering running but have not decided yet. Of course, I can't comment on specific cases (or apparently almost anything else) if I become a judicial candidate.
Fortunately, after spending years in politics, I have plenty experience at talking without committing myself to anything so I should have a definite advantage should I decide to run.

Dear Jack Roberts,
I just want you to know that I am sorry you are not in the governors fight this time around. I supported you last time and would have supported you again.

Seersucker AND saddle oxfords? The kid's got style.

Jack Roberts and nude dancing - that's a visual I'm trying to erase!
