Jim Holperin against Kim Simac (R) in the 12th district; Bob Wertz against Jonathan Steitz (R) in the 22nd. Of the two, Holperin is considered to be more vulnerable; but the Democrats’ failure to win back the Senate last week has put this election – and the Wisconsin Democratic long-term agenda generally – on the back burner*. Which is entertaining enough, in its way – then again, there’s something deep, dark, and not very nice in the human psyche that enjoys watching an enemy run across a field at full tilt, only to step on a rake. Put another way: from the GOP’s point of view, this is mostly about trying to make the EPIC FAIL of the Democrats’ even more obvious than it is already**.
Anyway, still looking for the AP link for the results: but you’ll be able to see them here (via Legal Insurrection) in the meantime.

*How much so? Not even the now sadly-diminished PPP can keep from admitting that a majority of Wisconsin voters opposes recalling Walker next year.
**If someone doesn’t think that the Democrats lost last week I can only shrug and offer a certain detached sympathy for his or her need to tell him or herself that the opposition party spending tens of millions of dollars in order to fail to retake the state Senate represents some sort of victory. And that’s only because that level of disconnect between one’s internal life and objective reality rarely fails to slop over into other people’s lives, too.

I spoke Monday night to my Senator and several Assemblymen, all admited that without a victory in one of these races this legislative session was dead in the water. As things stand this morning the Senate consists of 16 supporters of Walkers reforms/budget, and 17 opponents. Word is also that there is a good chance of Dale Schultz switching parties. A PPP poll this week shows Feingold with a significant lead over Walker if an election were held today, regardless of what people think of recalls. You can try to spin this as a victory if you want, but the truth is that Walker might as well go on extended vacation, he wont see another significant piece of legislation on his desk for at least the remainder of this session, assuming he even lasts that long.

Ausonius (Diary) Wednesday, August 17th at 8:45AM EST (link)We here in Ohio have a grass-roots, union-financed recall election in November to cancel the reforms put through by Gov. John Kasich and a Republican legislature.
The bill is called “an attack on collective bargaining rights for the middle class” which of course is a lie. The bill among other things simply limits what can be negotiated for state bureaucrats.
Bumper stickers and yard signs and misleading media ads are everywhere: and I do not live in a pro-union city like Toledo. The pro-reform voices are not even a whisper yet.
I suspect the bill could very easily be overturned, if the Conservatives/Republicans do not start campaigning for the bill.

Exactly what happened
dmartin Wednesday, August 17th at 11:29AM EST (link)Here in Wisconsin. The Democrats/unions were all in from the word go, the Republicans didn’t start getting serious untill about two weeks ago, and Walker was absent through the whole process.
We had the opportunity to put their fire out and we blew it. Maybe Ohio will learn from our mistakes.
Sounds like the primal error of the Bush Adminstration repeating itself
civil truth (Diary) Wednesday, August 17th at 12:14PM EST (link)..and the primal error of the Republican Party in general.
Which is what the Tea Party, for all its permutations, is trying to change.
The Bush Administration failed to stand up and affirmatively articulate and defend its program, trusting people to understand by osmosis, which allowed the Democrats to create a dominant theme against them, causing them to lose power.
Similarly, Gov. Walker appears to have a passive streak in him, first failing to stand up to the walkout early on and letting the Democrats pound their message for weeks – and finally ending the process by resorting to a too-clever legislative tactic much too late in the process (that came across as a cheap trick), bringing about the bad press that started the Republicans seriously in the hole for the recalls.
Instead he needed early on to have denounced the walk-out as the crime against representative democracy as it was and demanded they get back to work and cut off their salaries very quickly, etc.
The other problem is now this tactic has been legitimized, bringing us closer to mob rule.
And then if Walker was invisible and did not stand up for his program and campaign for the legislators who stuck their necks out for him, then he has reaped the consequences – which will affect us in the rest of the country. If you allow the opposition to set the terms of public discourse, you’re in deep trouble – especially with a hostile press.
As the old Talmudic saying goes, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me”.
Let this be another wake-up call for Republicans around the country.

dmartin and ausonius, what's the state of the Party in WI and OH
ColdWarrior (Diary) Wednesday, August 17th at 2:10PM EST (link)“on the ground” at the precinct level where you live?
I’m told that in WI, generally, in most counties and localities, the Republican Party committees are shells of their former selves. Essentially, “the Republicans” in the officer slots have put no emphasis on retaining and recruiting members who actually take “ownership” of their ward. That seems to be reflected in the bylaws of the Vernon County Republican Committee I have linked on my little blog. Whereas the Democrat candidates in WI can rely upon the unions and leftist organizations to help them get out the vote in the wards, the Republican candidates have virtually no warm bodies in the individual voting wards helping to go door to door and make a few phone calls to Republicans in their wards.
Sounds as though, right now, in WI, at least in Vernon County, all one has to do to get involved as a member of the Republican Party is pay nominal annual dues and show up for the caucus meeting.
Ausonious, any idea what percentage of the Republican Party precinct executive slots are filled in your precinct and county? I know in Ohio, to become an elected Party precinct executive, you have to collect 5 signatures from registered Republicans in your precinct to get onto the primary ballot.
Thank you.

Ohio GOP Is Usually Spooked By Unions
Ausonius (Diary) Wednesday, August 17th at 6:00PM EST (link)A friend is head of one of the Republican Clubs in Dayton, and says they are still trying to build support: Dayton does now have a Republican Congressional representative (Michael Turner, on whose website the word “Republican” is very difficult to find), an improvement over Toledo’s near-pacifist union shill Marcy Kaptur. The Republican Party in Toledo is a joke: November elections are between Democrats usually. An occasional sacrificial lamb is thrown at Kaptur, who often has run unopposed.
Here in Franklin County, the party website says “149″ members are on the Central Committee. Franklin County has c. 1000 voting wards. The website ha nothing obvious about becoming a precinct chairman.
What I can tell you about the Ohio GOP and unions is not pretty: place your bets on the unions. One party insider said a big mistake of Kasich’s was angering the unions by including police and firemen in his reforms.
If he had stuck with bureaucrats only, the Rescension effort now would not be gaining steam, as I wrote above. Kasich’s other error: not heading off the union counter-attack.
The Ohio GOP has always been spooked by unions, going back to the 1950′s.
Right now, Kasich is offering a compromise to unions, who of course – sensing the scales tipping toward them, after months of unopposed propaganda swaying people – have said no to his compromise.

Cold Warrior, You Do Realize That Vernon County
wonkish1 (Diary) Wednesday, August 17th at 6:27PM EST (link)Is a very low population county, right??
Also located in Hippie Valley, right??
Cold Warrior I think you must be from a state where the party is highly structured. It isn’t that way in Wisconsin and the base doesn’t want it that way. Instead its very decentralized.
Endorsements are frowned upon, nobody cares about party rules, party platform, etc. They don’t want “marching orders”.
Instead every cycle the same volunteers show up and the same money flows in. They do great work, have their party and then go home afterward.
There is nobody to take back the party from because they’re it and they don’t want a bunch of titles thrown around to different people. They don’t want one and they don’t want to be ordered around by someone who does have one.
And besides the times when the Unions get really fired up the GOP county parties in Wisconsin are consistently in better shape then the Dem ones. Locally Wisconsin is a very, very conservative state. The Unions usually only get fired up during the presidential elections.

wonkish 1, thanks for the information about Vernon County
ColdWarrior (Diary) Thursday, August 18th at 1:22AM EST (link)Every local is unique. I understand that. I’m in Tempe, AZ, and what works in my neighborhood, my legislative district and county with respect to party organization and GOTV will be unique to each locale. My legislative district has more registered Republicans, for example, than the entire county of Pinal, just to the south of me. What works down there (I recruited the current county chairman) does not work at all up here in Tempe. My legislative district, which contains part of Tempe and part of Scottsdale, has 277 precinct committeeman slots. All Pinal County, which his is many, many times larger geographically than my legislative district, has about 180 precinct committeeman slots (there’s roughly one slot for every 125 registered Republicans in each precinct).
I grew up in a rural WI county. I was a “city boy” as opposed to a farm kid, in the county seat. That county has about half the population of Vernon county, so it’s even more rural. I come from dairy farmer stock on both sides of the family tree.
In the 1960s and 1970s. I watched the Republican Party change in my county from one that relied heavily on precinct walks by ward captains at the time of the 1964 election to, by the time I graduated from high school in the mid 1970s, the Party having already begun to wither away in terms of the Party having active volunteers in the wards. I worked with Republican candidates and the local Party committee to do a few GOTV precinct walks in my hometown. As time progressed, with every election cycle, as involvement in the Party seemed to wane, the candidates seemed to take up the slack with more mailers, radio ads and TV ads. Now, over thirty years later, I find that the Republican Party in that county is as you described it in Vernon County (I spend a few weeks back in my home town every year) — a few old-timers are still in the Party but very few “newcomers” have come into the Party, and there’s virtually no effort to bring more people into the Party.
I have driven through Vernon County many times and my cousin and her husband lived in Viroqua — her husband was my neighbor growing up and his parents were delegates to the 1964 Republican Party presidential nominating convention. They were “Goldwater Republicans.” Other than that, I’m not really familiar at all with Vernon County Republican Party politics other than what the county committee bylaws say, and, as I noted, there’s no mention of what duties members would be urged to carry out in their individual wards with respect to GOTV, recruitment, voter registration, etc. But I did know that Vernon County is a relatively rural county, as was the county I grew up in north of La Crosse along the Mississippi. I also see that Vernon County went 60 per cent for Obama in 2008.
Interestingly, although Obama got 60 per cent of the vote in 2008, by 2010, Scott Walker was able to out poll the Dem, getting 5,441 votes to the Dem’s 5,278. So that’s some good news! The Party must be doing something right!

wonkish1 (Diary) Thursday, August 18th at 2:41AM EST (link)As you probably have figured out I too grew up in Wisconsin, but in a little more populous county.
And you definitely narrowed down what town you grew up in and its one I’ve actually spent some time in even as small as it is.
Buffalo, Trempealeau, La Crosse and Vernon are all very light blue counties these days. You may have also witnessed first hand why that area carries the nickname “Hippie Valley”. It was one of the few areas of the country that hardcore hippies that were sick of the city decided to move to so they could “get closer to nature.”
The reports that I’m getting from my home county and a few other places is that many women are showing up and even a decent amount of young folks to volunteer. Furthermore, the word is that the way north in counties like Oneida, Lincoln, and Vilas the party finally has a respectable presence for the first time ever.
But basically, in very small towns there is really no way to know how involved folks are going to be. As soon as you cross that several thousand mark you see a pretty consistent strong showing of volunteers in most Wisconsin towns. And the local parties try not to spend money and time trying to recruit others because
A) The existing volunteers do a better job of recruiting at their dinner table or at the bar then a party sponsored event.
B) It then requires existing volunteers to show up to more events, etc. throughout the year and I think they would just rather show up around election time, do there job, have their party and go home and that’s it.
