About 40 people came to the early voting rally in Appleton, WI that started at City Park. Rep. Penny Bernard-Schaber was on hand and gave a rousing speech. She reminded us of how important it was for us to get Wisconsin moving in the right direction again and put it on a much better...

Recall Walker day, June 5th is rapidly approaching. On this day people in Wisconsin can collectively stand up and put a stop to Walker’s anti-worker, anti-woman, anti-union, anti-environment agenda. We can show the state and country that people in Wisconsin still believe in the “Wisconsin way” of fair play, open government and progressive values....

I honestly wasn’t paying close attention to Tom Barrett a year ago. By the recordings from the time, which you’ll soon hear, it sounds like he was trying very hard to distance himself from the Dem14 and look like a Wisconsin blue dog*. When you’re done with the post, let me know: Does this...

UPDATE: Rep. Peter Barca has formally declined to run for Governor of Wisconsin. His letter to supporters is HERE. —— Late Friday afternoon, the news came out that Tom Barrett had finally decided to enter the race for Governor of Wisconsin. What this will probably do is prevent Rep. Peter Barca from entering the...

  Athletes and sports fans know what a ball hog is in basketball. It’s just like it sounds – a ball hog is a player who never gives up the ball. Ball hogs are convinced that there’s only one way to win, and that they’re the most talented players on their teams. They listen...

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was on “Up Front with Mike Gousha” Saturday on WISN-TV 12 in Milwaukee and said he is “seriously considering” running for governor if Scott Walker faces a recall election. Here’s a link to the interview. A few of my notes from their chat: On the timing of the recall and...

I am not endorsing any candidate for Governor of Wisconsin right now because I think it’s still too early. Would you listen to me anyway? I could enjoy delusions of grandeur but I’m not a heavy hitter like Wisconsin’s union for education staff, WEAC. I have about 4,100 followers on twitter. WEAC has over...

I am a Progressive now in a Red State: Wisconsin. It feels like I just moved.

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. Some things I’m thinking about: IF you are one of the typical Dane County residents who is challenged to name more than 3 Wisconsin counties,...

October 29, 2010

Update on Cheddarcast #2: I think I was just too rambling on that. It’s quite a challenge to put in minimal effort and still churn out decent video. It might be great fun to just make propagandist ads. For example, what if that ominous ad voice said “Tom Barrett defends women. Conservatives stomp women.”...

Canvassing on porches & Polls are positive: Feingold and Barrett

The good news is that Feingold and Johnson show as 2 points apart by the St. Norbert poll and Tom Barrett and Scott Walker are about 9 points apart with a 5% margin of error, using landline phones. This is great! But can you imagine how great those numbers would be if they texted...
