I thought he’d just be a little bit of a side show for a week and everyone would just forget about him. But he’s turned into a first class clown and it’s time he folded his tent and just went home. We certainly don’t need the distraction. From Mike Tate,…

This is an interesting read (emphasis added). Winnebago County functions as a microcosm of the state, narrowly divided with the potential to swing between elections. In the 2012 recall election, 56% of Winnebago voters picked Walker. Yet, Obama carried the county with 51% of the vote later that year. That’s…

As Ed Shaina noted earlier today, Democratic State Sen. John Lehman has announced he will run for Lieutenant Governor next year rather than seek re-election to his Senate seat. As a friend on Facebook noted, there’s been no word on when Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate will issue…

If you completed high school English, there’s a 99% chance you’ve read at least one book by George Orwell.  In one of his best works, 1984, he writes about a society that is being brain washed through the restriction and reprogramming of language—basically, cut out as many unnecessary words as…

I have never met Mary Burke.  I don’t know too much about her positions on important issues regarding the state of Wisconsin.  Other than her involvement with Trek Bicycles and as Commerce Secretary, I don’t know much about Ms. Burke’s background.  Unlike some progressives, I’m not fanatically opposed to Mary…

Judge for yourselves. In response to assertions his promotion of an “I’m on Team Burke” image constitutes an endorsement of Burke’s candidacy, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate took to Facebook to explain that he hadn’t endorsed Mary Burke’s campaign, he was simply promoting her.
