I'm watching ads for Tom Barrett (who challenged Scott Walker in 2010 WI election)

Some interesting stuff right there, even though I've never been to Wisconsin. I found Tom Barrett's Youtube channel (BarrettForWisconsin) while watching this Young Turks segment. Barrett has been the Democratic mayor of Milwaukee, Wisc. since 2004.

This video was on the "related" section: "Can't Trust Him With Our Money." This ad accused Walker of mismanaging Milwaukee County public assistance programs so badly that the state had to intervene.

This one, "Enough Is Enough", promotes the Barrett campaign site EndTheAssaults.com and discusses incidents of rape and violence in mental health facilities managed by Walker.

Barrett made his TV campaign debut with "Jobs for Wisconsin" that discussed his record of job creation in Milwaukee. Regarding that subject, Barrett attacked Walker in the ad "Scott Walker's Park East: A Record of Economic Failure" about a failed redevelopment scheme of Walker's.

Wow. And how did Walker manage to win the election there? If a recall effort is in effect in Wisc, that's great! Not to mention that one firefighter went on MSNBC earlier and expressed regret for voting for Walker.

1. Here is the interesting thing... Walker supposedly won by five votes...

Scott Walker has been running for governor for years.... But it is still hard to believe that Roves computer glitch didn't help Walker.... You see the info... Hard to believe that just money put this bum in office....
