A lot of media said RonJohn was overshadowed by crazier candidates while campaigning but...

Ok, a prominent theme during campaign season was that RonJohn's crazy was overshadowed by far crazier candidates who got more media. (Christine O'Donnell, Sharon Angle, Meg Whitman, Joe Miller, etc.) Which was probably true, and probably helped RonJohn win his seat. A lot, A LOT of outlets said he never could have won if his crazy wasn't outshone by the brighter crazy-stars. But all the super-crazy Senate-candidates were defeated. In fact all of the ones that immediately came to mind lost their bids.

Which brings me to my question: Was he the craziest one to win? Will "Sunspot" Johnson be the new crazy standard for the Senate? And if he was, what does the future hold, now that the folks whose crazy-shadow he hid behind are out of the picture? Will he be exposed? What does that mean for WI?

Crap.



Well, thinking more on it, there was some already-entrenched crazy that might outshine RonJohn. Will he and Sen. Inhofe (of OK I think?) race to the bottom?

1. I hope him and Walker are gone after one term.. n/t

2. re:Ronjon and Walker

I would like to think that Ronjon will discover that the US Senate isn't what he thought it was and go back to his plastics business.

as for Walker.....

I'm praying he stays healthy and doesn't vacate the Governor's office for any reason during his elected term. If you think he's nutzzzz....take a good look at the Lt Governor waiting in the wings....She was also overshadowed by crazies on the national scene but she's actually Christine O'Donnel Crazy....

3. I know! I figure Walker looks at her like 'job insurance.'

He knows he's safe from recall as long as everyone knows "Batshaite Becky" is next in line.
