I am appalled that the people of Anderson County have re-elected him. I work in the legal field and you would not believe the way he treats people. Once, he dismissed 50 or so collection cases of a new attorney because she was in the hallway trying to settle them and he told her "this is my court, not a collection agency". She pleaded with him that if he dismissed her cases, she would get fired. He did it anyway and she left the court room in tears. It is common practice for a creditor's attorney to try to settle cases in the hallway outside the courtroom, unfortunately, she did not know the wrath of judge Layton. Good blogging by the way!

He still has Layton, his political ace in the hole, and a new quantity in the sheriff dept to replace Bill White, who evidently went rogue on him. Edsone: Thanks. I don't understand how the guy got re-elected. It might be the buddy factor, or the ignorance factor. It could be that Stuart represented the Mass. democrat, what with the glasses, which is the fear of ignorant people and good old boys everywhere. I really don't know, but I wish he had got the job.

They just think its been working so far and they recognize the name, so they vote for him. From what I understand, it was a close race. I have heard that David Stuart is a great attorney and many enjoy working with him on his cases. Maybe he will try again next time! I think with Meldrum winning the juvie election, it will give the system a fresh face and hopefully a new start to try some new things with our delinquents and deadbeat parents. I can remember being in high school and all the kids hated Judge Hess. I've heard stories of kids spitting at her, etc. The only thing that worries me, is many attorneys do not like working with Meldrum, so hopefully that isn't foresight into her future as a judge. I was kind of disappointed in Corea's loss to Clark. I am surprised that he got the position with his lack of criminal experience. Les Hunt definately was not the best candidate, so no loss there. Ann Corea was definately a very capable candidate and I assume Clark is capable as well, but we shall see.

The Layton victory is also hard to take, but I think that AT & edsone have already covered that nicely. As for the rest, I can't complain. Looks like we have an exciting race for the senate coming up... I am sorely, sorely disappointed with Joseph Lee’s one vote loss, but pleased that Creasey was re-elected with no problem.

I don't know when I have had a better time chewing the fat pre-election. As for Beauchamp, I would be worried if I were him. He lost Ramsey. The DA's office was the only barrier to his being indicted in 2003/04. No doubt that Judge Layton would be an excellent friend to have in Anderson County, but he doesn't run the DA's office and he wouldn't be the judge in a case involving Beauchamp. Dave Clark should hear, an very soon, from those of us who would like the Beauchamp investigation re-opened. Just my totally uneducated 2 cents worth. AT, great election season blogging.

I wonder where Clark will fall in relation to Beauchamp. I wonder what his priorities are going into office?
