Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

[Riot]

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.

This election may not be finalized for years

Just google Prosser says he'll complement Walker

It was from a campaign news release from Prosser's campaign in 12/10, so look for that original. Prosser later tried to walk it back and deny it. Try this for some background

12/09/2010 http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/111603909.html

It was heavily discussed during the campaign, and was the basis for two anti-Prosser ads shown in Wisconsin. You seriously are unawares of it? Probably one of the main reasons Prosser lost - saying you promise to be a non-impartial activist judge for Walker and the GOP isn't flying with Democrats or union folks right now - let alone independents that think Supreme Court judges shouldn't promise to be political and "complement" the legislative and executive branches!

This election may not be finalized for years

Huh? It will be finalized in about a week, and Kloppenberg takes up her position on the State Supreme court in August, I think.

Think before talking riot. Prosser now leads but frankly this will go to a recount! Thankfully election is over can answer phone without having to hear political crap. Lol

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.
