Defending Wisconsin’s Senator Dave Hansen: July 19 Election, 30th District

Today Senator Dave Hansen fights to keep his seat in state senate district 30 against one of the most underwhelming candidates I’ve had a chance to learn about, Vanderleest. I’d like to say Hansen has it “in the bag”. Most say he does. But that won’t keep me from watching the election closely tonight....

May 26, 2011

It was raining and cold and still it felt good to get out and raise some hell against the radical Republican agenda today. I pieced together this brief video. There are some episodes I didn’t catch in the video, such as the 4th graders who spontaneously began chanting “recall Walker”. [Hold on - Nick...

Part 3. 150,000 Welcome the Dem14 Home: I laughed, I cried, I took pictures.

I have video. I have audio. I have photos. They all should be compiled into a multimedia schmorgasbord. But it takes so much time to wrestle with this stuff. Just thinking about it… I need to relax and have a beer. So, for the moment, here are a few photos and comments. Part 1...

100,000 Welcome the Dem14 Home in Madison, Wisconsin

I’m going to say 100,000. I see reports of “over 85,000″ but as I saw no helicopters flying overhead, meaning we had no professional estimates, the evaluation by someone who’s been to every single historic Saturday labor rally in Madison, Wisconsin is good as any. I spent the day at Madison, Wisconsin’s largest rally...

The Undaunted Democrats of Wisconsin

The note I added to this tweeted photo was “I could laugh. I could cry.”   In truth, I cried. Democrats move their desks out to the lawn of Wisconsin’s Capitol today in Madison as Governor Scott Walker continues to defy a court order and unlawfully restrict access to Wisconsin’s statehouse. I can’t confirm,...

The Republican sneak vote mapped.

Here’s the vote from last Friday February 25 mapped out by Josh Wachuta at Aceity. I’m assuming the grey non-voting areas are matched with the Democrats who were too slow on the uptake. As you recall, this was a sneak voice vote that occured in seconds. It was orchestrated by Republicans to deliberately exclude Democrats.  It...
