05/18/12Tom Barrett gets coveted endorsementThis just in. The Nation magazine has endorsed Tom Barrett for governor.

05/17/12The Democrats must pay for this recall! Send them the $16 million bill!Where in the world is Tom Barrett? Not in Madison, Wisconsin’s second-largest city. After Tuesday’s Democrat(ic) primary, Blaska’s Bring It! asked when was the last time a Democratic politician for statewide office refused to campaign in Madison. The answer: “Wednesday,” the day after the primary, when Barrett famously blew off a planned, and announced, unity rally set for the Capitol. Does Tom Barrett have any plans to set foot in the People’s Republic of Madison? Posted at 11:23 AM | Permalink | Comments: 3 |

The Marquette Law School poll says only 12% of Wisconsin voters think the labor union issue is important. Make that “likely Democratic primary voters.” The “War on Women” is a joke. How about job creation as an issue? That may be a non-starter as well. Now hear this: Wisconsin is gaining jobs. Posted at 02:00 PM | Permalink | Comments: 4 |
