Three weeks ago, nobody had even heard of JoAnne Kloppenberg and incumbent Justice David Prosser, self-proclaimed Walker sycophant, was expected to cruise to an easy victory. But in response to Walkers draconian policies and Machiavellian tactics progressives inside and outside Wisconsin banded together to make this a referendum on Walker and the Republican party. Walker’s corporate backers outspent us nearly two to one, but in the end, no amount of corporate Koch sucking could stand against the people’s voice. The margin was just 204 votes. No doubt there will be a recount, but we can expect it to be fair, only because Wisconsin voters elected a democrat as Secretary of State.
We can make a difference!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Of course I’m thrilled with this news but more than a little disappointed in how close it was.
Leslie, consider that he was the incumbent, that he was a former legislator with a 30 year elected history and a well known name. This was her first time running for elective office.
