Tuesday's Recall Election results have been spun every possible way, but you're not going to get any of that from me here. With the rioting in London and the departure of Meteor Blades there are certainly plenty of things to talk about, but I haven't much to say on any of that, either. I've got a one track mind at the moment, and the focus of my attention is that:
THE WISCONSIN RECALLS ARE NOT OVER!!
The Right Wing Noise Machine is still polluting Wisconsin airwaves with it's attacks on Jim Holperin and Bob Wirch. The importance of Dale Schultz notwithstanding, there will be plenty of time next Wednesday to scour the statistics, crunch the numbers, analyze the percentages and try to figure out what it all means. We have absolutely no time and I have exactly zero tolerance for crying in our Corn Flakes. Right now our focus needs to remain on GOTV. Doors need knocking on. Calls need to be made. Hell, there's still time to donate!
You can donate to Jim Holperin here, or visit his campaign website to volunteer. In like fashion, you can donate to Bob Wirch here, or volunteer at his website.
If you're interested in what we're up against:
HuffPo has an excellent article on Holperin's opponent Kim Simac the wife spouse swapping, tea party organizer who compared American schools to Nazi Germany.
Our very own Giles Goat Boy has the definitive dossier on Jonathan Steitz in three diaries here, here, and here.
Of course, I've got the definitive caricature....
Jonathan Steitz
