We don’t intimidate people,” This quote comes from the Brown Chair of the Republican party, Vern Krawczyk.  This quote could be taken a couple of ways. Is...

Here’s the most important line in an open letter penned by Grant Petty and Sheila Parks: “our appallingly compromised election procedures in...

Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus Worked Under Prosser in a Wisconsin Assembly Dissolved by Scandal [April 10 article]

FYI-Wisconsin has 6,291 wards. You can take a look for yourself:  http://legis.wisconsin.gov/ltsb/redistricting/ward_data.htm This Clerk Always Lands on Her Feet What a fool I’ve been–not hanging around with a successful land-on-your-feet type like Kathy Nickolaus.

Nail biting numbers in Wisconsin–Joanne Kloppenburg vs. Prosser

April 6, 2011

Sorry-formatting must be screwy because I copied information off a widget program. I’m too tired to fix anything, too. It is 1:11AM.  Very, very close race.   Very likely that a recount will be ordered. At about 1AM there “were a number of wards still outstanding, including a dozen in Milwaukee County and half of...

Live blogging the Wisconsin Supreme Court vote. Kloppenburg has a fighting chance.

The weather is lovely here in Madison-no wind, overcast sky with the sun now peaking out. Turnout is always high in Madison and it’s breaking records. What us pro-Kloppenburgers need to see is exceedingly high #’s in blue areas against weaker #’s in red areas. I would like to tentatively report: That is what I...

This is pretty bad. Wisconsin is the only state to lose to Republicans: A majority in U.S. Senators + the Governor seat AND both Wisconsin State Assembly & Senate.
