Madison - Tuesday brings a series of recall elections unprecedented in the history of the state or nation.MJS
Since 1908, there have been 20 recorded state legislative recall elections held in the United States, according to one recall expert. Wisconsin is in the process of holding nine such elections in the space of a month.
With control of the Wisconsin Senate in the balance, six Republican state senators will face a recall vote Tuesday. One Democratic senator has already weathered a recall attempt, and on Aug. 16, two more Democrats will be up for recall.
"Wisconsin has taken a quantum leap in a fast-changing process, in what has been a growing use of the recall" nationally, said Joshua Spivak, who writes the Recall Elections Blog.
There is intense interest - from voters on the street to national political groups - in the elections sparked by lawmakers' positions on GOP Gov. Scott Walker's law ending most union bargaining for most public workers.
Tens of millions of dollars are being spent on the recall campaigns by candidates and independent groups. President Barack Obama's Organizing for America was pulling together canvassing drives Monday, and the Tea Party Express was concluding a bus tour of the state with rallies in Rhinelander and De Pere.
Say a prayer for the solidly pro-life Dan Kapanke today. Death threats and nails in his driveway have not stopped this guy from fixing the Doyle mess in Madison. Liberals have been calling telling conservatives the wrong voting day. That all said, he is one of the most genuine and honest guys you will meet in politics. And I'm not the only one saying that. The people that hate him the most have never met him.
The Daily Klos shared it's plan to take over Wisconsin:
Here is our plan to make that happen. In the two districts where Democrats hold narrow leads, we are going to run Google Blast ads during the final 120 hours of the election.Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, let those who hate Him flee before His Holy Face.
This means two things. First, every single person who goes online in those districts will see our ads an average of 20 times by Election Day. Second, we will drown out any online ads run by Republicans and their corporate masters, making it all but impossible for the GOP to fight back online.
