All,
I realize Mr. Martin is a formidable character, however, a position as DA should not go unopposed. Best wishes as we gear up for a better outcome in 2011. [Redacted]

Very well said, [Redacted], thanks. And Jimbo's not even all that formidable, really. In my up close and personal experience with Martin, I found him to be your classic neighborhood bully. Stand up to him, and knock him on his fat ass (like I do, at will), and he pees his panties and runs for the hills crying. Seriously. He's all bark and zero bite. Well okay, except for the abusing his office and trumping up phony criminal charges against me (or you) in collusion with Tom Corbett ...
but in the end, Martin lost that one against me too.
My advice: play as dirty as possible against Jim Martin because that's how he plays. And again, it would be my pleasure to help the ("Is It Low T?" Oh I'm kidding) Lehigh County Democrats beat Jim Martin, give me a ring any time you're ready to admit that you (respectfully) don't have a candidate or a clue regarding how to beat Jim Martin like I can and do every day of the week.
Enjoy the Holiday!

Hey Bill,
Nobody wants that crappy job thats the problem. Would you? I mean Lehigh county DA is one of the lowest jobs someone with a law degree could aspire to so in a way its a blessing that this guy has this job. Talk about burnout Jimbo gets his everyday just by having to get up and go to such a shitty job. The DA is after all just a glorified public defender.
Hey Tom,
while I do see your point(s) ...
My first-hand experience w/ Jim Martin and my observations of him over the past 5 years tell me that Jim Martin is crooked and incompetent, and that Lehigh County taxpayers and voters deserve much better service from their office of District Attorney.
To this end, we've laid out the specifics of DA Jim Martin's crookedness and incompetence here at LVS in an ongoing exposé series of concrete examples.
As far as the job of DA being "crappy," I'll tell ya what, at $160K+ annually it pays much more than the average local lawyer makes. And how about the Vocational Civic Duty Aspect? It's a noble calling, prosecuting bad guys, and, equally important, advocating for crime victims, by kicking bad guy ass in court and sending these vermin off to prison. It's good for the community to have an aggressive and proactive District Attorney. It's a quality of life issue, take it from me-- i.e., someone whose quality of life has been degraded badly by Jim Martin's steamrolling contempt for crime victims who stand up for themselves.
Personally, I'd love having the job of DA and I'd run against Jim Martin in a heartbeat (and beat him) but I'm not a lawyer.
I can, however, be of valuable cross-trained assistance to the noble attorney (Democrat or Republican) who decides to run against Jim Martin.
Fun Facts To Know & Tell: I wrote all the winning campaign materials (radio, TV, direct mail, etc.) for the Lehigh County DA who preceded Jim Martin. He's a Judge now ...
Martin owns Cunningham. It was Martin's 11th hour endorsement of Cunningham, and Martin's white guy business owner suburb votes that was the only difference in Don (and "just barely" is right) squeaking past Scott Ott. You didn't have to tell me it wasn't Don who sent you the email but the disclaimer was the right thing to do. Best of luck to you, I'm betting you'll acheieve your goal and unseat Jim next November.
Thanks.

Funny.
Mikey, there's not a snowball's chance in hell of you ever becoming Mayor of Allentown.
And what sort of cartoon character buffoon parody of a politician would announce a "flirt" w/ a run against a sitting Mayor of his own party ... in 3 years?
Jesus. What a rotund moron you are.
Don't quit your day job, Doc.
