GOP could turn Wisconsin red in 2010
Hot Air ^ | July 30, 2010 | ED MORRISSEY

For decades, Wisconsin has served as a bastion of Upper Midwestern populism, which has mainly served the Democratic Party. At the moment, its entire slate of constitutional offices and its legislative leadership are all held by Democrats. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel sees change in the air, though, and reports that the state’s GOP has a shot at capturing every post in the upcoming midterms (via Lakeshore Laments):

If this is a year of opportunity for victory-starved Republicans, no state in the country offers more bounty than Wisconsin, where an entire Democratic power structure is in peril this fall.

Wisconsin is one of two states in the United States where Republicans have a plausible chance to take away from Democrats a governorship, both chambers of the Legislature, a U.S. Senate seat and one or more House seats. (Colorado is the other).

“There’s nothing that’s not on the table,” says state GOP chair Reince Priebus. “My expectation is this is going to be the biggest Republican year in the history of Wisconsin.”

Save your ink. We’re stuck with Tammy and Herb for many, many years to come. We may be able to dump Feingold, though, and that might be enough to see us through. :)

D@mn, I hate that man! Ask me why...

“...only because of voter fraud in Milwaukee, Kenosha and Racine.”

There’s a LOT of voter fraud in north west Wisconsin too...where we bump up against Minnesota, Yah Hey. Up by Hudson, etc. The LibTards from MN cross back and forth to vote in WI as many times as they want!

Secure our STATE borders...NOW!

Seems like we hear this crap every election cycle from the press. Never comes to fruition.

I say it with all sincerity, I find the Orwellian propagandic shift of colors to be as viscerally offensive... nay, MORE viscerally offensive, than the usage of “teabagger.” I will accept neither, ever, and will work mightily hard to educate people on our side that they should steadfastly refuse to be called Communists and gay perverts by the left.
