Ed just said at the top of his show that something is happening there. I hate suspense.

1. Walker supporters write in???

There have been a few articles posted in DU about walker supporters being encouraged to write in Walkers name on the ballot.

3. I don't know why I'm having trouble following your post.

I thought I was sort of following the situation in WI, but I guess not. What ballots, exactly? Sorry for the dumb question.

8. Thanks.

Dems are really gonna have to be on their toes. You'd think they'd be embarrassed to try that kind of stuff. Basically just admitting they can't win on their ideas.

9. There is also this: "Wisconsin: Scott Walker, at the scene of the crime, smoking gun in hand"

"If you haven't been keeping track, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has seen his current and former staffers either be arrested or granted immunity at an astonishing rate. The FBI's investigation is keying on illegal campaigning on government time when Walker was Milwaukee County Executive.

In the past ten days, there have been revelations about a secret email system that his staffers were using for campaigning. This system was allegedly set up and maintained by Walker's long-time wingman Tim Russell, and housed in a disguised cabinet only 25' from Walker's office.
