Well of course I was being a tad sarcastic there Jan

But it does often amaze me that so many partisans cannot even conceive that there can be another side or another point of view.

Patrick,

I must say the way you are looking at the WI race’s outcome is ‘unique.’

However, the post-election reviews, IMO, will depend on which side is interviewed, and whether they represent the winning or losing side. It’s such a polarized election, mirroring the GE before us, where passion overwhelms reason.

Well judging from everything I’ve seen in the blogs I’ve come to the conclusion that the Wisconsin is either a no win or no lose situation.

It could be a race between the dedicated and noble governor of the people versus the equally dedicated and pure unions who think not for themselves.

Or it is a race between the evil governor who hates the poor and the blood sucking union bosses.

I just wonder which race it will end up being……

WI has become a battleground state for supporting an embattled republican governor, for realigning public and private job contributions and powers, for creating a more work-friendly state, and for possibly turning from a reliable blue state to at least a purple, if not red one.

There is a lot at stake on June 5th in WI, regarding not only stabilizing the reforms already put into place, but becoming a masthead, of sorts, for other states to gather courage and follow, if Walker wins. If he loses, like Nikki Haley said, it will serve to break the spine of resistance other governors might have in following suit with their own reforms.

So, yes, this is an important election.
