i understand. i do. kos has to keep the fannies in the seats, so he will fluff the epic failure in wisconsin yesterday in order to keep people happy and keep the money coming in. it's totally natural for him to do this. he's not a cup-7/8-empty kinda guy, he's a cup-1/8-full kinda guy when it comes to keeping his sweet gig going strong. and digby is great at being digby, so she really wants it to work out well in wisconsin. i have no problem with that. she's got an excellent perspective on lots of the most important issues in politics today.
but wisconsin was absolutely an epic failure last night. the issues facing the voters were as simple and as clear as they have ever been or ever will be again. there was anger, infrastructure, national media coverage, lots of support from outside wisconsin, and money money money. yet, they failed. getting rid of that jerkoff randy hopper was great, but it should have been 6/6 for the good guys.
if the voters in wisconsin had had the slightest interest in understanding their desperate situation and being educated or learning the truth on their own, they had an outstanding opportunity during these recall campaigns. republican districts or not, this was a chance for the citizens of wisconsin to change their situations for the better, and for whatever reason, they did not. they refused to change the paradigm. the democrats did not take power in the state senate. it was a failure. anyone who was energized by such a disaster is probably already lost.
lots of excuses are being made, and the activists have no choice but to fight on if they are not indeed going to commit suicide by supertrain. the teabagging assholes are gonna take this as a win though. labor especially needs to do better or it's lights out on america.
