Quote Of The Day

From the Washington Post:
Eric O'Keefe is one of the biggest GOP donors in the country and is one of the main organizers in the effort to defeat the recall of Gov. Scott Walker in Madison, Wis. He says the average voter doesn’t care if faraway millionaires spend fortunes in Wisconsin. “That’s inside baseball,” he says. “There’s no moral issue involved. This is a nationally significant fight.”
They really don't understand us angry badgers, do they?

    Wow, as if there's no backlash to Citizens United? Well, not enough, but this is on everyone's radar.

    They have all that money to buy shovels with. At some point soon money will become much less useful. Voters don't like attack ads, and Walkers uncoordinated supporters have almost nothing else to spend money on.

    The victory centers are making phone calls and polling us all the time. They are going door to door to ask people if they want to post a sign.

    From the Marquette Tribune:

    Mafia’ run county exec’s office

    "Milwaukee County is being run by the mafia.

    The "Marquette Mafia," as alumni working in Milwaukee call themselves, make up most of the staff in County Executive Scott Walker's office . The spirit of the school is everywhere — from the chief of staff wearing his Golden Eagles fleece pullover on the day of the big Notre Dame basketball game to the executive assistant exchanging text messages about how Marquette is doing during games with her coworkers.

    "'Cura Personalis. Care for the whole person.' That's what we do here," said Dashal Young, the director of community relations who graduated from Marquette with a degree in communication and rhetorical studies in 1995 and earned his master's degree in interpersonal communication two years later.

    All of the employees with college degrees in the office except for one graduated from Marquette. That means six out of nine staffers are Marquette alums."

    How many Walkergate names are mentioned in this article?

    It seems like this should have been blogged about- but didn't find it at the usual places to check.
