Wisc Ex-Gov. Lucey resigns as Prosser's honorary campaign co-chair, endorses Kloppenburg

[mucifer]

Less than a week before Tuesday's election for Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, former Democratic Gov. Patrick Lucey on Thursday resigned as honorary co-chair of Justice David Prosser's re-election campaign and endorsed his opponent, state Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg.
Lucey said in a statement that he has followed Prosser's campaign "with increasing dismay and now alarm," adding that "Prosser has lost that most crucial of characteristics for a Supreme Court Justice — as for any judge — even-handed impartiality."
Lucey also cited Prosser's "disturbing distemper and lack of civility that does not bode well for the High Court in the face of demands that are sure to be placed on it in these times of great political and legal volatility."

1. Why was a Dem working for a republican in the first place?

Glad he quit, but didn't know what the guy was like before he signed on to his campaign?
