(WIS) Senate Democrats, Republicans to be targeted in round 2 of recalls
Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Madison - Alongside an attempted recall of Gov. Scott Walker, both Republicans and Democrats will likely seek in coming weeks to recall state senators in a contest for control of that legislative house.

Following this summer's recall elections, the Senate is controlled by Republicans by a thin 17-16 margin. Next month, a new set of senators will be eligible for recall, opening the possibility Democrats could flip the chamber or Republicans could add to their majority.

State Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate said Thursday that he expected his party to help run recall efforts against GOP senators along with its attempted recall of Walker announced Monday. He called capturing control of the Senate at least for a time a "very real possibility."

"It would be irresponsible of the party to not jump on that opportunity," Tate said.

I love Fitzgerald's posture on this verses Tates.


"It's all about resources," Fitzgerald said. "It's about making people spend money where they don't have to. That's what this game has boiled down to."

1. And if all else fails for the Fitzgeralds they have Kathy Nickholas.
And the lesson Kathy Nicolas has learned over and over again is that she can break the law and call it human error...
