I have a prediction... The GOP takes all but 1 |
|
I'm betting that the GOP steals this one via the electronic voting systems.
I have complete faith on the voters. But the voters no longer matter imo. HAVA is the cure that caused a plague in American politics.
God help us all.

4. We are awaiting State Senate - District 8 which includes Waukesha County |
|
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2011/by_county/WI_Page_0809.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS56 of the 82 precincts have reported and Waukesha is reporting 1 of 11! Is NEOCON Clerk Kathy still enthroned over there? Makes one wonder what kinda special magic they will pull out of their arse this time?

6. I'd think twice in a row will make things suspicious |
|
FEC might wake up then. maybe... I suspect massive election fraud has been going on there for years. (not voter fraud is rare, election fraud isn't)

8. Justice denied is corruption personified |
|
Went to bed last night just hoping that maybe NEOCON clerk Kathy wouldn’t perform her magic tricks but the skeptic in me knew better. I have been saying this for months and I will say it again ... call a general strike and shut Wisconsin down. Hit corporate amerika and their political whores in their pocketbooks and made them bleed greenback. It’s the only thing they understand. The voting system is rigged and broken!

10. I am losing faith in Wisconsin |
|
People would never do that. Half of them are brainwashed by the Koch brothers. I think we have to wait until their Social Security and Medicaire is yanked and then we will look like London with riots in the streets

15. I would hope it is fully dashed, now. |

Democracy has limits. Were this not true, dictators would not appear.

11. These are gerrymandered, solid puke districts. |
|
What made you think they needed to use voting machines to win?
The only two that we won have a heavy labor component. I'm very saddened that we couldn't get closer in the other districts, but I am totally not surprised. Winning was a million to one odds from the beginning.

16. Obama won all six districts |

The seats were there to be taken and we did not turn out enough voters.

12. Agreed, this was a steep up-hill battle, and |
|
Randy Hopper lost because of his extramarital daliances. Is it possible that Fred Clark would have done better had the Luther Olsen babysitter/abortion issue been aired out? Although we will never know, I have no doubt the Republicans would have run hard with similar "family values" type information.

13. I have a friend from Ripon |
|
He absolutely praises Luther Olson as a "kindly, old, Gentleman." That was Luther's image to the common folk over there...he was sort of like the old, family pet and attacking him without definitive proof would have been even worse for Fred. Fred did the best he could in that district...remember..Olson has not had a Democratic Challenger in 16 years!!!! Just getting Fred on the ballot was an astounding feat.

14. Although I do not live in that district |
|
I am in that Senatorial district often. The Fred Clark campaign was everywhere, from New London, to Green Lake, in Berlin, and everywhere in between. The district is populated by generations that have voted solidly Republican. The ads against Fred Clark, sponsored by Koch Brothers fronts, were thoroughly viscious and misleading. Luther Olsen, from my observations, is a typical good-old-boy Republican, milking the system for all it's worth for himself and his cronies. It sure would have been a treat to hear he was out.
