Riot didn't "get mad and attack" (gee, you love the violence references, don't you? even when you have to lie about them?).

I called you out when you characterized 100,000 peaceful protesters as "union thugs" Because the definition of a "union thug" is a physically violent person. They were not physically violent in the least. You, however, continue to ignore that, and continue to falsely call them violent when they are not.

Wow - I'd love this job

No degree, little experience pay off

Just in his mid-20s, Brian Deschane has no college degree, very little management experience and two drunken-driving convictions.

Yet he has landed an $81,500-per-year job in Gov. Scott Walker's administration overseeing environmental and regulatory matters and dozens of employees at the Department of Commerce. Even though Walker says the state is broke and public employees are overpaid, Deschane already has earned a promotion and a 26% pay raise in just two months with the state.

How did Deschane score his plum assignment with the Walker team?

It's all in the family.

His father is Jerry Deschane, executive vice president and longtime lobbyist for the Madison-based Wisconsin Builders Association, which bet big on Walker during last year's governor's race.

The group's political action committee gave $29,000 to Walker and his running mate, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, last year, making it one of the top five PAC donors to the governor's successful campaign. Even more impressive, members of the trade group funneled more than $92,000 through its conduit to Walker's campaign over the past two years.

Today was the election of Walker-supporter judicial Activist Judge Prosser vs challenger newcomer Kloppenberg. Prosser is supposed to walk in this election easily. In Dane County, Kloppenberg is winning, but that's far from the whole state.

BTW, the high-school graduate son of the big Walker donor - Brian Duschane, noted in the previous post - with no experience, no previous jobs, no college education, and 2 DWI's - who was given the $81,500 yr job was demoted today by Walker to a $62,000 job.

Its heck for Walker to get caught in outright political patronage. But dang, still a great deal for the unemployed kid, isn't it?!

-----------------------
10:00pm AP election results reporting:
344/3630 precincts reported, the incumbent leading:

Prosser: 101,156 51%
Kloppenberg: 97,422 49%

Walkers' conservative activist judge (who actually ran on publicly saying he'd ensured Walker's agenda would be supported) lost - the first time in 41 years an incumbent judge has been unseated.

The loss was only a couple hundred votes at this point, so he'll probably ask for a recount.

As for the rest of yesterdays' Wisconsin elections:

Not so fast

Also where did you get that prosser will support walkers agenda?

Prosser's record speaks for itself. The only reason this race is close is because of the ridiculous amount of $ spent for Kloppenburg's campaign

His words, speaking. His campaign was advertising it, too.

BTW, the Wisconsin AG also sent out an e-mail the night before the election to his "friends" saying Prosser must be elected to hold the Republican-Walker agenda.

LOL - Yeah, the GOP outsiders spent nearly twice that! They shoulda won!

The edge is now back to Kloppenberg, BTW - up 300 or so now. It will go back and forth until it's certified. Kloppenberg has this.

Unfortunately for, "You bitch! I'll destroy you!" Prosser, his record does speak for itself.

Please find me where prosser stated this. I do not believe you.

This election may not be finalized for years

The judge has already allowed La Follette to get his own lawyers, as it was clear the Wisconsin AG was not litigating to protect his interests.

http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/loc...cc4c03286.html

Secretary of State Doug La Follette is asking the state Supreme Court to withdraw his appeal of a judge's order barring him from publishing Gov. Scott Walker's bill curbing most public sector collective bargaining, telling the court that he never asked for the appeal.

In a document filed with the high court on Wednesday, La Follette's lawyer, Roger Sage, wrote that there was a conflict of interest between La Follette and the state attorney general's office, which was representing La Follette, when the AG's office sought to appeal a March 18 order by Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi that stopped La Follette from publishing Walker's union law.
