On Wisconsin

Fight on. Steve M has the most intriguing take away from the results. Also too, Scott Walker is still a colossal prick. It shouldn't amaze anyone how easily people can be convinced to vote against their best interests. It happens often. Doesn't mean you stop fighting, doesn't mean you give up or change tactics. What worked here was the ability of organizers to make the recall happen. It happened. That alone is a victory. Yes, big money won, but the fight is long from over. We could end up like Greece ...to me, though, Wisconsin was the people beginning to realize the current status quo has gone on long enough. Better late than never.

Lastly major props to the Wisconsin Democratic Party, the Unions, activists and organizers. Unseating two incumbents in Republican districts is a monumental accomplishment. As I said yesterday well done! Here are your highlights: David Cameron readies to fight back against rioters ...this should end well So if you have a kooky idea, but are Christian you can get a major tax break! BLS: ...

Well Done Wisconsin

It's just the beginning! Congrats to the two new Dem Senators Jessica King and Jennifer Shilling. And of course there has to be a tad bit of controversy. ACORN! NEW BLACK PANTHER PARTY! Nope, Ke$ha county.... TPM : Democrats defeated Republican state Sen. Dan Kapanke, who represented the most Dem-leaning seat of any Republican in the chamber, by a 55%-45% margin. They also won a 51%-49% victory over state Sen. Randy Hopper, whose campaign was also damaged by a messy divorce, and allegations by his estranged wife that he "now lives mostly in Madison" after having an affair. This would get Democrats from their previous 19-14 minority, following the 2010 Republican wave, to a 17-16 margin. In two more safe Republican districts, incumbents Robert Cowles and Sheila Harsdorf won by margins of 60%-40% and 58%-42%, respectively. But in the two remaining toss-ups, Democrats have lost close calls. State Sen. Luther Olsen won by a margin of 52%-48%. At time of writin...
