But then again, like Geithner and WallSt, maybe Bjork's real value is having an inside track on those we perceive as the opposition. All kinds of angles to ponder. She could manipulate each side to her own advantage.<br /><br />Thanks again for this post.nonquixotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-38741154175032782852013-10-14T09:12:46.749-05:002013-10-14T09:12:46.749-05:00Alright Jeff, if you're going to complain abou...Alright Jeff, if you're going to complain about these folks and tell Burke that she needs to find different people, who would you hire?Kenneth Arrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135748962329922314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-54774581261134822702013-10-14T06:45:17.816-05:002013-10-14T06:45:17.816-05:00We could, BUT i dont think the place to rehab her ...We could, BUT i dont think the place to rehab her is "top political advisor" of the biggest campaign in WI history. <br /><br />Jeff Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118335402641807712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-30932728551868593562013-10-14T06:37:40.296-05:002013-10-14T06:37:40.296-05:00We can look at Bjork's employment as a social ...We can look at Bjork's employment as a social rehabilitation program and an example of what a progressive WI should be doing to help wayward citizens re-integrate successfully into society after having simply gone down the wrong path or having chosen to hang out with the "wrong," sort of people, just as we shouldn't be condemning or prosectuing teens for unsavory actions they might engage in prior to full formation of the frontal cortex.nonquixotenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-56334992416487449852013-10-13T20:57:02.502-05:002013-10-13T20:57:02.502-05:00I've long suspected that many of these corpora...I've long suspected that many of these corporate Democrats are actually working for the other side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-46454958157316217302013-10-13T19:42:10.883-05:002013-10-13T19:42:10.883-05:00Sure seems like it.

I'll tell you this, I'd take two more terms of Jim Doyle over the disaster that's in the Capitol right now.<br /> I seem to recall 2002, 2006 and 2008 going pretty well for Dems in Wisconsin. Combine that experience with a clean government agenda, and a candidate that excites the base with a positive message, and 2014 should be very good for the Dems.<br /><br /> The question is if Mary Burke is the one who should be at the top of such a ticket. And that's not decided for me.

But I also understand hiring veteran operatives that HAVE WON STATE ELECTIONS. <br /><br /> The real question is whether Burke and the Dem team are the best bet to get the job done, and end the Age of Fitzwalkerstan. I think a strong, "clean government" message is a winner, and it's something Mike Tate and co should keep in mind, regardless of who the candidate is.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-73304894210760418232013-10-13T14:44:59.992-05:002013-10-13T14:44:59.992-05:00gee....
