Tucker Max, Duke Law

[observationalist]

In tomorrow's Massachusetts U.S. Senate race:

Democrat Martha Coakely --> BU

Republican Scott Brown --> BC

Ted Kennedy --> UVA

I'd like to see Brown pull it out just to witness the political mayhem that would cause

Vicki Kennedy (Ted's widow, campaigning for Coakley) --> Tulane Law

Alan Page (NFL Hall of Famer) - Minnesota
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Page

Long before Page’s football career came to a close, he was laying the groundwork for his future role as a justice with the Minnesota Supreme Court. While playing professional football full-time, Page attended the University of Minnesota Law School, from which he received his Juris Doctor in 1978. Following graduation, he worked with the law firm of Lindquist and Vennum in Minneapolis from 1979 to 1984. In 1985, Page was appointed Special Assistant Attorney General, and was soon thereafter promoted to Assistant Attorney General.

In 1992, Page was elected to an open seat as an Associate Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, becoming the first African-American to ever serve on that court. He was re-elected in 1998, becoming the biggest vote-getter in Minnesota history, and was again re-elected in 2004.
