The unenthusiastic results from Wisconsin demonstrate the Mittens failure.

Outspending Santorum 50:1, Mittens still could not convince even half the Repugs.

The rational days are gone forever beyond any reset. Now he is just a broken toy.

I looked at the results in this mornings paper and in our town (Kenosha) 98% of those elected were endorsed by the union...so I'm guessing we'll succeed in the recall and the Presidental elections...but we have to get out the vote and work on the ID's in case they re-institute the ID law.
