Walker staff turned away ticket holders who signed recall petition.

So, word among Waukesha County Democrats is that they cross referenced names of ticket holders of his announcement event with the recall petition and sent those who signed to the overflow tent after a slight interrogation. Unintimidated my ass.

as a senator.

As a child, growing up in Wisconsin, I remember seeing him at every event, from the state fair, county fairs, baseball games...wherever there were people he was there and he talked to people, even those who disagreed with him, calmly and politely.

I don't even recognize my home state anymore.

If someone has a ticket, you let them in, unless there is a valid reason, not a crybaby "he signed a petition" whine.

Agreed, it's a shame what the taebagger wave of 2010 has done to divide this great state.

but I have zero faith in our election system.

Between voter suppression, no paper trail and that freak in Waukesha county who keeps "Finding" votes after the election (is she still in office) it is hard to believe that any of it is honest anymore.

Growing up in Wisconsin, I knew that the schools I attended were great, even the worst of WI schools were pretty decent, then I attended the UW System (Madison) and got a top-notch education there at in state tuition (535 and change my first semester in 1984).

Now, Walker is working hard to destroy all of that and no one seems to be able to stop it. I fear what would happen to our country at large if he were to, by some horrible circumstance, become president.

But, to your point, yes, I hope to see Mr. Feingold back in the Senate.

So, that's how he'll govern All (as POTUS). Anyone who Objects or disagrees about anything shall be sent to a different kind of "holding/overflow tent", perhaps?
Didn't he say he was inspired to run for POTUS because.....something about the Boy Scouts?

He's afraid of people who didn't like what he was doing in Wisconsin and we're supposed to believe he'll know how to the presidency?
