I long ago stopped holding that against a candidate. Also, when Giordano states he is loathe to overturn a jury verdict, he is merely expressing well settled law that gives great deference to findings of fact made by a jury. Finally, the Philadelphia judge problem does not exist on the Supreme Court, but too many of the Superior Court judges are from Philly.

His opponent did however and directly addressed something you brought up in the Sam Murray posting:<br /><br />"ensuring that litigants receive equal access to justice through Civil Gideon, a movement to ensure that every citizen has access to an attorney for critical legal matters"<br /><br />His opponent has far more endorsements <br /><br />The Pittsburgh Post Gazettee (in their endorsement which given their anti-Philadelphia bias should not be a surprise): "[Giordano] said he doesn’t like to see an appellate court overturn a jury verdict. That raised a question of whether he would be predisposed to fairly evaluate such claims."<br /><br />So I don't know. I'm totally up in the air. I'm not one to vote simply for the hometown guy.
