But you said it much better.

Why isn't the media talking to some of those people to find out why they voted that way. Surely some of them, or most of them, are Democrats. Are they union workers at private companies, and they think Walker is only after public worker unions? Do they belong to unions when they didn't want to join but felt they had to? It's important to find these things out, if the Democrats are going to address the problem.

Instead, I see media pundits blaming everything and everyone else, with no one even attempting to get to the facts through the voters. I've seen a couple of very brief interviews with REPUBLICANS who voted for Walker. No surprise there. What's the point of that kind of interview?

I personally don't think ads could make a union worker vote against unions. There had to be something else involved. But like I say, no one has asked them. That's the only way to know.

The Walker actions have been front and center in the news, and talked about extensively by union members, for a year, now. There's no way a union worker didn't know what Walker was trying to do. That's what I think.

That's the kind of finger pointing that's going on here. I think everyone needs to take a deep breath, chill the fuck out and we need to regroup and come back stronger than ever to defeat the Koch dipshits in November. That's what needs to happen.

The secret is not to learn anything from a bad event but to make sure that the people that matter know that "it is somebody else's fault".

The voters in Wisconsin are "to blame". If we want to learn anything from this "sad, infuriating, disheartening" event that's up to us. After we gain some knowledge on why they did what they did, we can decide whether to use that knowledge in our future campaigns or ignore it as irrelevant.
