I never knew they had boats in Wisconsin.  Is it on a lake or something?  I didn't see any boats in the videos of the protests in Madison. But then again, they also didn't seem to have a sense of humor in Madison, unlike the owner...

Wisconsin Justice Ann Walsh Bradley publicly accused Justice David Prosser of using a "chokehold" on her during an incident on June 13, 2011. As discussed on Thursday, the investigative file shows that the accusation was false and misleading.  Read my post, Turns out WI Justice Ann Walsh...

Wisconsin Justice Ann Walsh Bradley accused Justice David Prosser of using an illegal "chokehold" on her.  At the time, I pointed out that if the charge was not sustained, and Bradley falsely had accused Prosser of using a potentially life threatening "chokehold," Bradley needed to step...

The great hope for Wisconsin Democrats has been that former Senator Russ Feingold would run in a recall election next year against Republican Gov. Scott Walker.  Since Democrats are likely to get enough signatures to force a recall, Democrats also will need a strong candidate...

Post-mortem --  No excuses or hand holding.  Bad News:  Dems held both their seats, and Republicans hold the Senate by only one seat.   Good News:  Republicans hold the Governorship, Senate and Assembly, and the big things have been done, including the collective bargaining law, the budget...

As readers know, I've been blogging about the Recall (Robert) Wirch effort for several months, long before the national media paid attention to the fact that there were Democratic State Senators in Wisconsin subject to recall. Here are links to some (but not all) of my...

Tuesday is the last round of recall elections in Wisconsin, in which Democratic Senators James Holperin and Robert Wirch are being challenged. The races are expected to be tight (h/t reader Charles): The Wisconsin recall fight ends Tuesday, and while the state Senate is no longer in...

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker appeared on the Morning Joe show this morning, and was fabulous.  He completely disarmed Mika Brezinski and Joe Scarborough. Walker made the case for the success of what Republicans have done so far, and Wisconsin's improving economic fortunes. Walker also hit on a topic...

They just can't help themselves.  Despte throwing everything the had at it, the Wisconsin Democrat/Union coalition lost the Prosser/Kloppenburg statewide election, and then failed to pick up the three seats needed to take control of the state Senate.  Having lost, Democrats declared victory. Democrats have convinced themselves that...

Great reaction to yesterday's Wisconsin recall elections, from blogger Lexington Green at Chicago Boyz (via Instapundit).  Read the whole thing.  Leaves me with that "wish I'd said that" feeling: The people have spoken.  Again. Get used to it. Next: More rollback. Here, there and everywhere. Today Madison, tomorrow DC. Today Wisconsin,...

Yes, you are celebrating.  But the Wisconsin Senate recall elections are not over. Republicans have a chance to deliver a political coup de grâce to the national union and Democratic intimidation tactics next Tuesday when there are two elections seeking to recall Democratic State Senators Robert Wirch...
