Walkergate II: Son Of John Doe

There is an old adage that goes "Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction."

In Fitzwalkerstan, that is not just sometimes, it is the norm.

On Wednesday, Scott Walker game out with his highly questionable jobs numbers, just three weeks before the recall election. In his interviews all day Wednesday, he made it abundantly clear that his sole concern regarding the numbers was how they would benefit him politically.

Within hours of releasing the numbers, Walker also release an ad that has deluged the airwaves boasting about these exact numbers.

This suspect act has caused the Democrats to file a complain with both the GAB and the Dane County District Attorney, alleging Walker of illegal coordination between his administration and his campaign:

The Wisconsin Democratic Party has filed a complaint against Republican Gov. Scott Walker over his latest television ad.

The ad released Wednesday includes footage of Walker touting new jobs data that the state made public earlier in the day.

The Democratic Party alleges in the complaint sent to the Dane County district attorney and the state elections board that Walker illegally used state time and resources to craft a political message in violation of the law.


You can see a copy of the complaint here.

1. Is Walker really going to pull this out?

WTF is wrong with the DNC? They will not get one dime from me if they don't help in Wisconsin. If Walker gets away with this it's just the tip of the iceberg.

2. Even a non-Rove-politicized Justice Department should be able to do something

3. It gives me a sick feeling

If he can win in Wisconsin, then I am worried about the national races elsewhere. Damn! Why aren't we winning by landslides everywhere????

4. the pollsters seem to be just another Walker commercial: media coverage favors Walker.

It seems the Democratic message is not registering with Wisconsinites.
The Koch/ALEC propaganda machine knows well how to skew and blurr reality for the middle class "minds".

As we know Charles Franklin (Marquette pollster--a visiting professor-- that suddenly appeared at MU prior to the recall election) is paid by the right wing conservatives.
