Mahlon Mitchell Is Considering a Run for Governor
By Phil Scarr On October 27, 2011 · 8 Comments · In Election 2012, Liberals Rock My Sox!, Wisconsin Politics
Well this is an interesting twist. The super-popular Firefighter Union Chief Mahlon Mitchell is considering a run for Governor!
Could we get so lucky?
In an interview with Mother Jones, he said he was “seriously considering a run” for governor in a potential recall election targeting Walker. He said he believes Wisconsinites are sick of professional politicians not following through on campaign promises, and that a populist candidate running against Walker stands a better chance of unseating the governor. The ideal candidate would be “able to talk with common people about common issues,” Mitchell said. “Tell ‘em what you can do and what you can’t do.”
Oh please… Oh please!

No doubt the Democratic establishment won’t be happy with this.
And I’m OK with that…
As am I.
Feature, not a flaw.
Frankly, anything that upsets Mike Tate’s little world is OK by me.
While not a professional politician, this man has some major character flaws that includes abusing women. I can’t stand Walker, but I don’t want one bully for another.
Care to elaborate?
It’s easy to make an allegation without any proof, so where’s your proof?
