SUPERIOR, Wis. ― It was a little early for a drink, but that wasnt going to stop Mahlon Mitchell.
It was a Saturday at 11:30 a.m. in Superior, a port city of 30,000 in Wisconsins far northwest corner. Mitchell, the leader of the Professional Firefighters of Wisconsin and a Democratic candidate for governor, had just finished touring the city with fellow firefighters and was about to kick off an economic roundtable with other union members. But first, he was perusing the beer list at Thirsty Pagan Brewing.
Why?
I can run faster and jump higher than the other candidates, he said with a grin on his face. His communications director sighed deeply and glared.
It wasnt the first time Mitchell made his staffers cringe. When EMILYs List, the group that backs female Democrats who support abortion rights, endorsed a rival candidate in June, Mitchell responded with a groanworthy joke about a female supporter named Emily in Milwaukee. In July, he drew criticism for comparing himself to a movie character with a mental disability. He swears frequently.
Some Democrats look at Mitchells frequent off-color jokes; call them gaffes, if you want to use a term from a different political era and see a man who could ruin their best chance at defeating Republican Gov. Scott Walker in years. Walkers moves to crush the states public sector unions made him public enemy No. 1 among liberal Wisconsinites. And after years of battles, his approval ratings have slipped. Just 34 percent of registered voters in the state say the governor deserves to be re-elected, an NBC News/Marist poll released last week showed.

The Huffing-puffing Post ,LOL
Wet Dream. Black Union Firefighter who is completely unknown. He has someone funding him, though - we’ve gotten TWO mailers this week, and we’ve never heard of the guy.
From all I’ve read elsewhere, Tony Evers (Super of Schools) is the Golden Boy for the Dems this time around.
However, Wisconsin members of the Socialist Democrat Party ARE dumb enough to play the ‘0bama Card’ one last time...
They’re all in for Socialism.
So a den candidate can make off color, sexist jokes and...crickets...
Exactly.
Walker should have run against Baldwin. Time to move on.

IOW, based on what Partisan Media Shills say, it could be that he's a foul-mouthed drunk. Sounds like Wisconsin can't lose, other than the half or so of Wisconsin who are left wing losers to begin with. Thanks Diana in Wisconsin.
Time will tell.
Is this the same guy who tried this about 20 years ago??
Before Jim Doyle?
I’d rather see this guy win because I think Walker can beat him, but I think Kelda Roy is a more formidable candidate, especially with the womyn...
She’s the old type democrat who is wrong on most everything but comes across as sincere rather than crazy.

Is the guy a hitman?
Evers WILL be the one to challenge Scott Walker - but we have Evers ON TAPE saying that Scott Walker IS ‘The Education Governor’ because while our ROADS are in shambles, Gov. Walker made SURE that kids in our state are getting a Fair Shake - mainly by allowing Parents to send their kids to Charter and Religious schools, versus the pablum-fed Socialist Schools that Publik Edjumacation have become thanks to the Socialist Democrat Party.
This Fall is going to be So. Much. Fun! :)
You know, I love College Football, but Politics? THAT’S Blood Sport! ;)
That is exactly how I’ve felt - but I see her campaign ads on TV and I want to PUKE!
She talks about ABORTION, while twirling her baby daughter around! She wants to be SURE that her OWN TWO DAUGHTERS can abort HER OWN future Grandchildren!
OMG! Such dissonance! Socialist are INSANE!
Crap. Comrade Paul Soglin is still alive. Talk about a leftover from the last century or two.
Well, prop him up in a chair and give him some borscht.
