2 Wasn't Feingold one of the guys who screamed incoherently at the funeral of Paul Wellstone of Minnesota?  Turned the funeral into a zombiefest of hate?

6 whoops!

7 Watch the Values Voters Summit live all morning here.  Basically everyone who is thinking about running in 2012 is there and giving speeches.  Mike Huckabee was first and wasted everyone's time, but all of the good speeches are still to come!

8
Sweet.

Did they factor in the  zombie democrat vote?  or the corrupt democrat double vote? Watch out. The Wisconsin democrat machine is as corrupt as nearby Ill and MN. 

9 Former USC and pro football quarterback too. Good for him.

My Johnson is bigger than your Feingold!

11 Some info about Ron Johnson from his website:

As soon as Ron was old enough he started mowing lawns and shoveling driveways to earn a few extra dollars. He delivered papers, caddied at the local golf course, and he even helped bale hay on his uncleÂ’s dairy farm.

At the age of 15, Ron started paying taxes when he began working at WalgreenÂ’s Grill. He only started as a dishwasher, but he quickly rose through the ranks to become a night manager before reaching the age of 16.

Ron and his wife of 32 years, Jane, met during his senior year of high school. While in college, Ron lived at home and worked full time in order to pay for all of his college expenses. Because of his work ethic, Ron was able to graduate college debt-free and with $7,000 in the bank.

Compare to Russ's bio - lawyer, career politician, supporter of Paul Simon's Presidency. 

And thank Russ for McCain/Feingold, supporting Crap and Tax, and helping pass Obamacare.

The correct choice is clear...and the morons will even appreciate Ron's last name, .

12 Man this is some good reefer .
For a minute there I thought you said that Feingold was gonna' lose to the Republican in Wisfuckinconsin.
Wait, what ????? It's really going in that direction ?

I think I need one of the moronettes to start soaping my back .

13

And the triage continues...

but not against Feingold. He is the incumbant. As I said on the thread below, this hurts Alexi Giannolias in Illinois. Kirk is sitting on $8-$10 million. Ali G has $500k.

Do you really, as a Democratic donor, fund this guy when your incumbant in the north is getting hammered?

Mind you- you have an expensive Chicago mayoral election around the corner. Expensive house races now in WI,IA,MN,IL,IN,MI, virtually everywhere around and in the Land of Lincoln.

 

If the Democrats decide to triage Illinois like they are in Ohio... Kirk gets seated in the Lame Duck (along with *fingers crossed* Raese, O'Donnell, and DioGuardi)

14 "What would you say if I asked you to put these in the trunk of the Cruising Vessel and get rid of them?"

"I'd say who the hell is Ron Johnson"

Name the movie...

15 When I think of November I get a tingle up my leg!

16 Wow, this is a tough call.  A self made business man or an Ivy league lawyer who has been suckling at the public teat in elective office for 27 years.  HHMMMMM.

God it will be great to kick this fucker out and shove his half of that shit sandwich "campaign finance reform" up his ass.  Too bad we couldn't get rid of the other half too.

17 I loved Don Johnson in Miami Vice

18 Forget the swimming pool, we're gonna need a supertanker of ball dip.

19 Mmmmmm.... a Republican leading in Wisconsin... tastes like mighty fine cheese....

Good time to invest in whichever company makes pudding.  Hunts, ConAgra?

21 The Wisconsin democrat machine is as corrupt as nearby Ill and MN.

Same day registration helps, too.  Just walk up and vote.  They also open polling stations two weeks early for walk-up voting, so you have time to hit several.

23 Malor, you have to post Ron Johnson's newest ad NOW.

It's amazing -- and amazingly (hilariously) I first found it on the Daily Kos: http://tinyurl.com/2bzbsm2

Seriously.  Watch that ad.   It doesn't just grab the "third rail," it humps it with a courage I have never seen in politics.

Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Ron Johnson for stating what needed to be said. I am particularly glad that these lovely children are here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed the courage little seen in this day and age.

Posted by: Lemon Kitten at September 17, 2010 09:57 AM ____________________________________________ I think that John Kerry got more votes from the citizens of Milwaukee than there are actual citizens of Milwaukee in '04. It is usually Milwaukee and Madison that screw the whole state up as far as electoral stupidity goes. Most people in WI are pragmatic, hard working, and smart. The only thing I hold against them is that they are Packer fans.

26 These leftist are really in need of the Acorn bunch. Hope Andrew Breitbart and et al. are looking out for voter fraud, they are desperate and will employ anything to win.

Thanks for that. Most excellent!

Regarding the sweet sweet Ohio /Democrat melt-down:  That's what happens when elite democrat assholes pompously ridicule an ordinary citizen plumber. 

30 Now that's a fucking ad! 

Russ better make sure he's taking his continuing education, cause he's going to need that law degree to make a living.

Oh, wait, he be a lobbyist?  Shocked.

31 I'd like a ticket on the Ⓓ-Train, please; the one-way express to Loserville.

Beautiful!

35

In his last campaign, Feingold said his grandfather bought the first truck off the line at the now closed GM plant in Janesville. I wish someone would ask him if he thought of buying the last one.

Russ has a very good chance of going down this time. Eight years of Democrap rule has turned our state into a Michigan type shithole. We have lost over 70,000 jobs, taxes have soared and we have almost lost some of our most famous companies. Mercury Marine almost left, Harley- Davidson is staying only because the union voted concessions, but they are not building their new plant here. Parker Pen moved to Ill. and Polaris is moving production and 500 jobs to Mexico. Property taxes are insane here and cigarettes are $60.00 a carton. Doyle wanted to do his own Cap and Trade deal which would have run even more jobs out of here. Chrysler is closing their engine plant in Kenosha and even Rippin Good Cookies may move to Ill.

Scott Walker looks good to be our next governor and hopefully we can get the Assembly and Senate back. Otherwise we are totally screwed.

36

Spit?...hands

Black Flag?....raised

Throats?...slit

Balls?... mmmmmmmmmm butterscotch puddingded!!!!!!!!!!!

 

37 This is all George Bush's fault  - as you all know.  11!eleventy!

38

Wait wait wait.  Wisconsin is a deep blue state why are we even thinking about some Republican running there?  That's crazy talk, we need to focus our resources on the places we can win. 

Right?  I mean, Wisconsiners like Feingold and he polls well.

Yep.
Funny how loosening voter identification rules and leaving pathways to fraud helps one particular political party (D).

40

Russ Feingold ??

Never heard of him.

41 I think that John Kerry got more votes from the citizens of Milwaukee than there are actual citizens of Milwaukee in '04.

In 2000, the local paper found college kids who admitted in print that they voted twice--once on campus in Milwaukee, and once absentee using their home address.  Same-day registration means no one realizes they're on the rolls twice until months after their vote has been illegally counted (...and even then, only in-state students will be noticed).

Feingold has proposed same-day registration be the law nationwide, in case you need another reason why he should be shit-canned.

(I've been looking forward to voting against him since the day I moved to WI in 2006.  That his challenger is actually worth voting for is the icing on the cake.)

42 Hotair has a story up today that follows up on Dave's "PPP Ends Polling In Ohio" story from yesterday... 

It has a bunch of Quinnipiac polls showing that the Republican nominees for Governor and Senator in Ohio are up about 20 points each, showing an electoral wipeout in the state for the Dems.

43 I think this is an appropriate place to state that Carl Paladino will be elected governor of New York, and his victory will render Johnson an asterisk. Scott Brown won the Kennedy Seat. Paladino will actually be defeating a Cuomo. And if the Rep senate candidates, whoever they are, jump on the Paladino bandwagon, they will win also. If they don't, they may also win, but who knows who they are, and as Reps they could very well be corrupt ruling class types.

44

NPR right now warning the Republicans that they are DOOOOOMED, DOOOOMED, I tell you, and that this insanity could ultimately lead to a (the fucking radio actually shudders) Palin run for President!

Oh, the humanity!  It's like watching them lovingly mix the ingredients and warming the oven to bake a big lip-smacking good Casserole de Schadenfreude!!  Maybe with a chilled crow salad.

45 Senate?  After watching the video, I say fuck the Senate, run this guy for President.

He sure reminds me of the Gipper!

46 4 I love a surging Johnson!

Me Too!!!

47 9 Former USC and pro football quarterback too.

Did he have to give back his Heisman?

48

We had a Voter ID law passed by the legislature but Doyle vetoed it. I'm sure with a Rep. held legis. and Gov. Walker that will be a priority issue.

The fraud is mostly in Milwaukee Co. Both Gov. candidates are from Milw. Walker holds a good lead there and you need Milw. Co. to win here. The margin of votes may well be over the possiblity of fraud, plus walker doing well upstate.

 

49 so now we can wash each others' junk!

50 "He is the Democratic half of the abortion known as the McCain-Feingold Act." Is he also the Democratic half of the campaign finance reform known as the Partial Birth Abortion Act?

51 Not to keep beating the same drum but we talk about what a liberal communist Feingold is. In 2009 and 2008 his ACU rating was 28 both years. Some of the Republicans have years lower than that and we have been asked to support them.

52 But Intrade has Feingold up by 20%!!!!!

53 Plus Herb Kohl is up next time. Doubtful he will run again so that should give us an open seat in '12.

54 No ACU scores are not the "all knowing barometer" but they are a good indicator.

Only the average career score matters, you silly ol sillyhead.

56 Obama was going to stop and campaign in Wisconsin next month.  I wonder if that's still on -- Feingold's problem is that his illusion of personal independence finally shattered after voting straight left on one too many horrors.

57 #61 - He will probably still go. There's a lot of nice golf courses in Wisconsin.

58 Not to keep beating the same drum

Drums OK, meat not!

59 Ron Johnson -- meh.  I'm voting for Rhilip Richael Thomas instead.  Because of the Jheri Curl!

I would say only the last 5 or 6 years matter. The RINOs sometimes enter with good intentions, sign up with a Maverick and then jump the shark.

62

You had me at "surging Johnson".

 

63

Johnson Surges in Wisconsin; Leads by 7

Mine leads by 8.

64

But wait, he hasn't spend 40 years in the House, honing his legislative craft.  Disaster waiting to happen.
