It surfaced today that Mahlon Mitchell, the democratic challenger to Wisconsin's Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch, admitted on camera that he only got involved in politics in 2008--and it's questionable if he even voted at that time. Mitchell, who is the president of the Professional Fire Fighters...
