— Ace National Review is sounding the alarm bells -- this is the left's first attempt to litigate the 2010 election.
It is important that conservatives nationwide make this campaign their own. What is at stake in Wisconsin is not just one piece of legislation or one bill restoring a measure of sanity to the state budgeting process. The question to be answered in Wisconsin is: Who works for whom? Do the public employees work for the citizens, or are the citizens mere cattle to be disposed of at the pleasure of the bureaucrats and their union bosses? Every arrow in the quiver — court cases, judicial elections, recall, lawsuits, lies, libels, and brute thuggery — will be thrown at this case, along with lots of money derived from the union dues that state and local governments helpfully deduct from their employees’ paychecks on the unions’ behalf. Wisconsin may seem an unlikely battleground, but a line must be drawn, and this is the place to draw it.
You can't donate to Justice Prosser, but, oh, lookie here, it turns out you can donate to two groups running ads in his favor: The Wisconsin Club for Growth and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Conmerce.

Do not rely on 'running ads' to get the job done. One, and only one, thing will, and that is getting our votes to the voting place in numbers sufficient to not only outnumber the opposition, but to keep the 'margin of fraud' from having an impact. And that means boots on the ground, not just cash on the barrelhead.
So if anyone knows who and how for this one, get that machinery into overdrive. Otherwise, our donations will mean squat.

Is she trying to make a point?
I bet that if she stepped in, there'd a whole lot more contributing going on.

Senator Schumer has clear ties to three extreme organizations.

I think that would be a double edge sword. Sure she would raise donations but it would also signal to WI people the Prosser is a conservative and not a centered judge.
Posted by: Flapjackmaka at March 30, 2011 12:54 PM (c5RQr)
Well the old hag running against Prosser is certainly not a centered Judge. She's got the Unions and Sierra Club backing her.

Where, one must ask, is the National GOP on this?

$20 from this funemployed moronette.
I hope they've hired an ad/PR/whatever firm to do some effective ads.

And since the unions have decided to play shitty, they should just make unions illegal and tell the feds they are nullifying the labor acts of the 30s.

If she wants to tear down or move anything within 75 feet of a lake, she should start with the entire town on Madison.

Hey, leave the Club for Growth alone! Don't you get it? They are against Obama and Democrats. So who the heck cares if they are systematically destroying opportunities for Americans and building up economies abroad. Didn't you get the memo.... paying American families and supporting decadent American lifestyles "destroys" wealth and hurts "job creators." Whose side are you on?

It takes two things to win elections. Money and money.
You need money to GOTV, which I agree is the critical component of this race, but you can't win hearts and minds without some advertisements.
I sure hope Wisconsin chooses justice, but the ads against Prosser are the nastiest I've ever seen in a judicial election. Wisconsin democrats know exactly what they are doing, and this is an ultimate referendum on justice itself.

I fully expect Holder to go all out on this guy.

I hadn't seen much on the specifics, just "we're gonna win" but, one the WI recall sites has some dKos polling listed (presumably PPP) that reports the following:
recalllutherolsen.com/
----- -----
Democrats need to win three of these eight districts in order to regain a majority in the Wisconsin state Senate. As it happens, Democrats currently lead in three districts:
* Senator Dan Kapanke trails a generic Democrat 55-41
* Senator Randy Hopper trails 49-44
* Senator Luther Olsen trails 49-47
In two other districts, incumbent Republicans are under 50%, and should face competitive elections:
* Senator Rob Cowles leads 45-43
* Senator Sheila Harsdorf leads 48-44
The Republican incumbent is favored in another district, but still isn't safe:
* Senator Alberta Darling leads 52-44
Republicans are strongly favored in two deep red districts:
* Senator Mary Lazich leads 56-34
* Senator Glenn Grothman leads 60-32

Who lives in WI? What does it seem like is happening over there?
Why are you guys worrying about recalls? Are we not also doing them as well. Recalls are very hard and lefties can't just fill out cartoon names. Plus the Republicans who are being recalled were elected in 2008. The year of Hope'n'Change.

In this case, it's an honorable judge vs a political machine in a highly politicized race. You're quite right that he's completely outmatched in the game playing, but that's why he's the right guy for the job.

Collectively, this threads knowledge of Wisconsin is very thin, whereas my knowledge and experience, especially when learning from the Green Bay Packers triumphant wins when they're at home at Lambert Field.

Isn't Greg one of our concern trolls?
Not to say this isn't a difficult fight, but I don't trust Greg's assessment.

because we're not the ones storming Madison. YET
fify, Donna. And you're right. I'm sitting here just waiting to vote Tuesday. Plus we have a judge race going on here in Waukesha county that should help Prosser. I am sick and tired of what lefties and commies have done to this state. There is going to be no reason for my kids to stay here, it's all high taxes and no jobs.

I'm betting there's gonna be a shitload of people voting now that weren't 'aware' they could 'legally' vote in Wisconsin last November.

or have an ad that says "the cows returned from CA cause they are more content in Wisconsin with Justice Prosser on the bench"

You guys have no idea just how often that Clergy/sex abuse attack ad is running. And then often you have the standard "Prosser stands up for families" ad that runs immediately after and looks tone-deaf. That specific ad must be addressed if Prosser wants to have a chance.

But more fundamentally what the heck do we do to stop this sort of thing?
We will never get very far in reforming the government when we give the left endless, illegal checks on the democratic process.
