Moreso than any of her opponents, incumbent Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore raised a lot of money during the last reporting period (January to the end of June). For the period, Rep. Moore raised $458,115, while her closest opponent, Republican Dan Sebring, raised only $20,574. However, while Rep. Moore raised a lot of [...]
Continue Reading →As he’s been traveling across the state, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake has been touting the fact that he’s converting Democrats to his cause (he’s probably had more luck converting “Democrats” than he’s had raising money), and I can’t help but wonder why any true Democrat would consider casting a vote to [...]
Continue Reading →At the suggestion of a commenter, I’d like to follow up on an entry I wrote yesterday noting the thousands upon thousands of dollars incumbent State Sen. Jeff Plale (“D” – South Milwaukee) has received from his good friends in the cable TV and power & energy industries. While yesterday’s entry was rather [...]

Mr. Wolf is the chief economics commentator for the FT, and not being American can look upon the situation and judge it objectively. That is why while he marveled at the political genius of supply side economics, I [...]
Continue Reading →More bad news for Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker, who spent the weekend campaigning while scores of Milwaukeeans recover from last week’s massive rainstorm and ensuing floods. While Walker was busy on the campaign trail, a teen at General Mitchell International Airport was struck by a piece of falling concrete, and while the [...]
Continue Reading →Last month, former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Terrence Wall alleged Oshkosh businessman Ron Johnson secured the endorsement of the Republican Party of Wisconsin through the use of bribes and coercion, and in an appearance Thursday on “Sly in the Morning” on Madison’s WTDY-1670AM, Wall discussed how Reince Priebus and others within the Republican Party [...]

Do you remember the moment during that campaign, when at a John McCain town hall meeting one woman said she couldn’t trust Obama because “he’s an Arab?”
Do you remember McCain’s response?
