[EL] Perry politics not election law...

[David A. Holtzman]

Still not an election law case, but still very interesting.

Enter a lawyer who defended high-profile Republicans and "who describes 
himself as a 'Lyndon Johnson Democrat.' "(NYT) Hmm... there could be an 
election law angle there, since LBJ used law and lawyers to steal 
election to the U.S. Senate.So ethical.

Ok, if trying to boot an elected official always counts as election law, 
this is election law.  - dah
