Hey, didja notice how the Wisconsin Recall Elections disappeared from even the regional media last Wednesday?
While the leftymedia spent about a day trying to polish the turd – “We got two of them!” – it was pointless; coming up one short was no better than losing all six recalls, especially after spending the kind of money the “progressives” spent. You can bet that if the Dems had won three, we’d be hearing about how the Tea Party was dead, at top volume.
The final round is scheduled for today, and since we’re not hearing a lot about it, that most likely means…
…well, we’ll come back to that:
On the ballot were Sens. Bob Wirch of Pleasant Prairie and Jim Holperin of Conover. Holperin is the first state-level elected official in U.S. history to have faced two recall attempts. He survived one in 1990 as a member of the state Assembly after he was targeted for supporting tribal spearfishing rights.
There’s a decent chance that Holperin can be tossed.
Which is, I suspect, why we’re not hearing a whole lot about today’s elections.
“we’d be hearing about how the Tea Party was dead, at top volume”
And simultaneously hearing about the “Tea Party Downgrade”, because “smart people” make (and believe) contradictory statements almost continually.
While searching for news on the recalls, I found an article on…I think WTMJ in Milwaukee from early June. It was about the Wisc Democrat state convention. They (the Democrats) called their convention the Recall Convention. The article said that the Democrats have assumed that they will sweep the 6 recalled Republicans out of office in early August, and were already looking past that and to the recall of Governor Walker.
Well, since then, the real world has intervened.
Plus Obama the Great has been on his three state bus tour. Given the attention span of the average liberal journalist (ptr), is it any wonder the recalls fell off the radar?
“his three state bus tour”
Otherwise known as Obama’s Magical Misery Tour, so humorously shared by Jeff Davis on True North.
And yet another taxpayer funded campaign tour. “How y’all doin’ Cannon Falls? I just want to give a shout out to….”
I think that even the NYT has seen the light.

Calling something the prez rides in something out of a ‘mad max’ movie doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. With the way he’s running the country a mad max world might be the best we can hope for.
