The political landscape of Wisconsin is mostly bleak (there are a few bright spots here and there, but for the most part, it isn’t just too promising). For example, our next state budget will be entirely decided upon by Democrats (they control the Assembly, the State Senate, and the executive). For conservatives, that could get real ugly real fast.

I suspect that Florida might not be as decisively blue as Wisconsin. Its swing back to red is far more probable than Wisconsin’s. So take heart . . .

Happy Thanksgiving, mailloux

I don’t know much about Ron Kind (D), except that he voted for TARP.

The reason I bring this up is because following this year’s election (and being sorely disappointed by my own state’s slide over to blue), I had absolutely NO sympathy for Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. I honestly could not understand how Obama so convincingly carried these states despite calling many of their citizens bitter, bible-clinging idiots. After reading your comments, I empathize with the struggles your state is experiencing. I wish you luck in the future, and can only hope that my state tilts back into the red column where it belongs.

Wisconsin is a beautiful place, but increasingly it’s run by loons.

If he can turn around Milwaukee County budget he can turn around Wisconsin’s.

I feel like a hologram from R2-D2, Scott Walker you are our only hope.

As for Doyle, Kohl and Feingold.. not so proud..

I can udderstand why the cows are happier in California, the political climate here for conservatives is very chilly.

One thing I would like to see occur is a feeding frenzy when the liberals turn on themselves.

I recall when Jim Doyle first ran for governor. He attended a rally (if memory serves, it may have been his victory rally). It was a pretty obscene, R-rated affair. He was up on a stage with an all female musical act (not the kind of gals you’d bring home to momma). Doyle’s behavior was not gentlemanly. It was a telling scene and I knew then that Wisconsin was in trouble.

On the bright side, though, there certainly is not a lack of material to write on here in the cheese state.

That’s quite a list you assembled, a depressing one, but quite a list (especially topping it with Odious Oprah).

Good luck in Illinois from your fellow conservative in Wisconsin.

Thanks for commenting and the recommend.

In my corner of the state, there’s also the firmly entrenched Ron Kind. He safely won re-election to Congress.

We conservative Wisconsinites have our work cut out for us.

Thanks for commenting and recommending.

President Obama. Dick Durban. Gov. Blagoyavich (under investigation as part of the Tony Resko frauds, etc.). Tony Resko. Bill Ayers. Mayor (jack hammering airstrips in the middle of the night because his wife wanted to have a park instead of a city airport) Daley. The Machine. And last but not least, Oprah.

Then in 2006 Mark Green lost his governatorial bid to unseat a notably corrupt Democrat governor. Doyle has ruined the economy here but he is going to be nearly unseatable. I kept hoping he’d be offered a cabinet post… the easiest wayt to get rid of him.

Also unseatable are our two U.S. Senators: Feingold and Kohl. I have no idea what we are going to do here. I’d like to see Gov. Tommy Thompson run against one of them, but I’m told he has no interest in going back to Washington D.C.

The further fall: in 2008 McCain won something like only 5 counties and the state was a landslide for Obama.

The only bright spots are we have elected two straight conservative Justices to the State Supreme Court.

Then, of course, there is our Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen. He seems to be getting the job done, reducing the backlog in the crime lab he inherited, but I hear both liberals and conservatives bashing him.

Thanks for the recommend.
