Sherrod Brown leads in Ohio also:
Good news, time to get rid of that duplicitous KochsuckerâŚ
Agreed⌠looks like the Kochs could be the big losers this time out
Dont worry Walkerâs well placed republican election officials will help
They stand by to pull late count votes in make up the differenceâŚ
Seeing Cruiser from the car club go down in defeat would really make my yearâŚ
Scott Walker not only deserves to lose this election, he should also go directly to hell.
Speaking of pollsâŚIâm sure the GOP will be reading the polls regarding their attempting to force Kavanaugh onto the USAâs body politic.
Wisconinites are at heart decent people. Some of them got a really bad infection and it clouded their judgement, causing them to vote for an evil little manipulator, who worked to divide and demonize follow citizens. But the fever has broken for some of them, and they see trashed roads and schools and are starting to see Walker for the proto-fascist that he is.
Walker is high on the lists of people I hope to see go down in what I hope is a wave year. I put Raphiel âzodiacâ Cruz higher on the list, but mostly as a senate seat is more important at this point than a governorship.
Wisconinites are at heart decent people.
SoâŚexplain Ron Johnson and Sheriff Clarke, then. At least I can explain Donald Trump and Ed Koch and Carl Paladino by fessing up that in NY we are a bunch of evil sonsofbitchesâŚ
Note to all media: This is how you headline and photo-attribute an article when the (typically lesser known) Democrat is the focus of the story, by putting their name in the headline and showing their photo, instead of defaulting to naming and showing the Republican candidate, something I see far too often. Thank you TPM.
As a Wisconsite, I am finally feeling some hope. Bring it home Tony!! That little weasel and his corrupt minions have ruined this lovely state. Much work to be done, getting the Gov is a huge first step. Then we need to un-gerrymander this place.
This is wonderful.
Drip by drip by drip, Wisconsin is beginning to realize what a FoxConn Scotty Walker pulled offâŚ
Before Foxconn got access to millions of gallons of Lake Michigan water, Wisconsin quietly gave small village even more
The Marquette poll is generally considered the most reliable of the WI polls. But the latest results wonât mean anything if folks donât turn out. I expect that Walkerâs allies will spend lots more money in the race between now and election day.
Iâm hopeful, but Iâve been through enough WI elections in the last 10 years not to take anything for granted.
Go Badgers!
I can explain Ed Koch, NY was falling apart under Lindsey and Crime was friggân out of control. NY did not vote for Trump.
As to Johnson and Clark? Same Milwaukee suburb republican cess-pool that Scott Walker crawled out of elected them. Walker went after Unions and Black people. It was a high school level divide and conquer stratagy, but people are getting tired of it.
I live in California, which is now the heart of the resistance, but we elected a weasel almost as bad as Walker in 1990. He ran on three strikes, term-limits, and campaigned against illegal brown people taking over CA (see prop-187 for some history). He served two terms and when he left the republican party was decimated. it has never recovered.
California was just about 20 years ahead of where WI is now, and Walker is just a slightly less educated and rougher around the edges version of Pete Wilson.
I can kinda help with that. Itâs called Russ Feingold. Perennial candidate. Wasnât enough to shake an incumbent loose four years ago in midterms when there wasnât a whole lot of reason to show up. Itâs how Walker also won that year. It was the final election of the Obama administration and, after six years, the pendulum swung.
Iâve met the guy, Evers. You need to vote for him. Seriously! The turnout in Hudson WI midday on a Wednesday had his very small venue packed with folks. Although it was during the work and school day, there were still some non-retirees in the group.
Sad part is, while the Walker signs were all over the area, no Evers signs were available for distribution yet, because heâd just won the primary. I hope when I get back this weekend to see a whole lot of those Evers signs out and about.
For those who havenât heard my pitch before: the top Dem party candidates - three under the age of 40. Two are women, one is black. Evers may be an âold white guyâ, but the ticket is about as diverse as one can hope for in the upper Midwest.
Beame was the Democrat Mayor between Lindsay and Koch. Koch beat him in a primary and, to be fair to NYCâers, his record as a congressman was, in the context of his time, progressive. It was only after he became Mayor that he became a raging pandering to the Right and to white ethnic group racist disgrace.
And yeah, I know, most of us in the State didnt vote for Trump. Was being facetious. Sort of.
And when Wilson won and English Only passed, I would never have thought it was the beginning of the end for the GOP hegemonic Reagan Era hold on California.
Yeah, theyâll have to curl up with their billions to sooth their sorrows.
Well, if anyone can do so, just vote with your feet away from Koch-owned Invista, Georgia-Pacific, Molex, Flint Hills Resources, Koch Pipeline, Koch Fertilizer, Koch Minerals, Matador Cattle Company, and Guardian Industries.
