Wisconsin Supreme Court recount - Dem. Kloppenberg leads Repub. Prosser

[Riot]

If you think a "good guy" is a man who is supposed to be impartial, but has publicly said he will not be, he'll be an overtly activist judge.

Naw - not a good thing at all in my book for a judge.

The good thing that did come out of this is full exposure of the marked deficiencies some counties in Wisconsin (Waukesha, anyone?) as completely incompetent electorially (unsealed bags, switched tags, wrong paperwork, lost and misplaced votes, etc). So at least the elections will be better run in the future.

As someone who always made fun of the Democratic machine in Chicago, Dell, I'm sure you're happy when the same type of nonsense is uncovered and fixed in Wisconsin

I said the idiot responsible should be fired and she's republican. Never heard a peep about her dismissal as rep or dem she's a fed and untouchable, probably close to her retirement and beni's for life on the taxpayer. All for being a f'up.

No. She's the locally elected County Clerk.

that's good news let's see if she even has the nads to run again. If she does I assure you repubs will not re-elect her.

Complete nonsense. Repubs already have elected her, as a Prosser-faithful Repub who escaped felony ethics charges on a state level by turning states evidence against her fellow Repubs who went to jail. She used to work for Prosser. The county clerk position is her paid political reward for being a good party hack.

And you call a publicly-admitted-politically-activist-admitted-non-impartial state supreme court judge a "good guy"?

Our country is screwed.

Have you even looked at the facts and the careers of these 2 judges? Not what you read in the paper or online. The actual facts. How they conducted their campaigns and handled themselves? If you have you would undoubtly agree that the good guy and most deserving candidate did win. A supreme court judge candidate who acted in the way that Kloppenberg did is unreal.

No, the "deserving candidate" did not win, IMO. The political hack scumbag won. The "impartial judge" who publicly said he'll support the Republican governor's agenda. But that's why we hold elections. I think the proof of how well Kloppenberg handled herself lays in the fact that this was supposed to be a clear walkover election for Prosser, and he barely hung on to win in a recount.

On to the recall elections.

If you're consistent with your thought and think deeply about the US not WI supreme court the country is screwed for the same reasons you just pointed out. I however have faith in the US and the good will overcome the bad and common sense not Al Gore like fantasies will prevail. Question is how long will we sink before we start bailing out the ship?

If you were consistent with the political philosophies you demagogue, you could never vote Republican again.

Alas, so it goes.
