Pittsburgh Post Endorses Judge Giordano For Superior Court
You can read the endorsement here. I am more than a little astonished that Judge Giordano's opponent would think she is entitled to the job simply because she is a woman. If Judge Giordano suggested that he should be elected because he is male, he would rightly be branded a sexist. Perhaps she was just relaying what election experts tell her, but it's something that was better left unsaid. Incidentally, ten of the Superior Court's 14 judges are women.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
No comments on what a paper from Pittsburgh thinks!Could it be super bowl envy at work here?

or, it could be no one really cares or understands how important these judicial races are. I don't want to hurt his chances but I am a big supporter of Giordano.

I saw the candidates on c-span -Judge Giordano out classed his opponents. If one votes for a woman for example, BECAUSE your a woman --then perhaps you should not be able to vote at all.It's not about the sex of the jurist,but about justice . This is my opinion . I was there when this jurist was first voted in by the people from Northampton County. Judge Giordano has been a very straight forward man and has displayed compassion for unfortunate people along with having always displayed personal integrity. .
