Quick Question to Wisconsin Dems on Bernie Sanders
Why was it such a big issue that recently elected DPW Chair Martha Laning had only recently been a dues paying member of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin…but nobody bats an eye when Senator Bernie Sanders, long time professed independent and/or socialist, runs for president as a Democrat…and actually runs…
Don’t know what to make of this
A friend of mine just got this email yesterday from, presumably, Jake Hajdu, Executive Director of the DPW. I’ll post it here for you folks to decipher because I couldn’t make any sense of it. I’m writing to you today because our most important FEC filing deadline of 2015 so…
A Profound Disconnect
As noted by long time Blogging Blue commenter CJ McD, Mike Tate wasn’t the only DPW official raising money while rank and file union members were protesting right to work at the Capitol building in Madison. Nation Consulting Senior Associate Jason Rae, a candidate for DPW Chair, held a fundraiser…
Walking the Talk
Ever since Scott Fitzgerald announced his intent to ramrod so called right to work legislation through the state Senate, I’ve seen a lot of social media/blog comments asking where the DPW is in all of this, and while I can’t speak for Mike Tate, Jason Rae, Joe Wineke or anyone…
The Big Tent Party
Great news everyone! I’m told there are still hotel rooms available at the Potawatomie Convention Center in Milwaukee, where the Democratic Party of Wisconsin will hold their annual convention in June, for only $159.00 a night! So if you’re driving to the convention from northern Wisconsin, like I am, and…
The Political Consultant Class
Ever since Jason Rae announced his run for DPW Chair, Nation Consulting, the firm Rae works for, has come under fire from a variety of bloggers, Facebookers, and other social media mavens disgusted with what is viewed as extremely poor messaging on the part of Democratic candidates. And while the…
Cliche’ Fest
Mike Tate goes out with a dizzying array of cliche’s. He’s going to ” leave it all on the field ” the next DPW chair has to ” move the ball forward ” he’s not going to be a ” shrinking violet ” he’s going to hold Walker’s ” feet…
DPW Chair Mike Tate Wants To Hear From You!
From the inbox comes this missive from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s Chairman, Mike Tate: Thanks for your membership in the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and your work on behalf of Democratic candidates this fall. Even though the midterm elections were hard on Democrats in Wisconsin and around the country,…
What does Mike Tate actually do?
Predictably, in the wake of the drubbing Dems took on Tuesday night, calls for Mike Tate’s head to be put on a spike next to the bust of Fighting Bob La Follette in the Capitol rotunda have been plentiful. And while I’m no Mike Tate fan, something about the chorus of disapproval…
Memo to Wisconsin Democrats: stop the voter suppression tactics NOW!
There’s been some talk lately across the Cheddarsphere and Facebook that perhaps some Wisconsinites who typically vote for Democrats may be sitting out the 2014 election. I don’t think that’s a very good idea as either a quiet protest of Burke/Tate/DPW, or a threat to coerce stronger progressive issue positions from Mary Burke, but I think a…
