That didn't take long. The Wisconsin newspaper that had Republican Senate hopeful Ron Johnson at a loss for words over how to help the middle class has just endorsed his opponent, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI). What's more, the paper cites stumping Johnson as a key driver of their decision

"Oshkosh businessman and political newcomer Ron Johnson, also has voiced his support for spending controls and fiscal responsibility in Washington," the endorsement reads. "His plan for righting the U.S. economy, however, comes across as one-note: establish a hard spending cap, reduce government interference and allow businesses to flourish."

"These are principles with which we agree; however, Johnson seemed unable to further articulate his plan for job creation -- especially for the middle class -- during a recent meeting with the Green Bay Press-Gazette editorial board. Basic principles of restraint are one thing; a detailed proposal to spur job creation and get our economy moving is another."

I'm so tired of seeing Mr. Johnson's face on TV and online ads with nothing coherent to say. I just can't stress that enough.

don't put food on the table and a roof over your head.

accountable??? Never I assume.

Heck, The GOP here in DC go JOBS JOBS JOBS while pointing
finger at Obama and Democrats. Never say what they will do
to create more jobs.

Pearlestein at WAPO pointed out on CRose: The Republicans
do not have plans for jobs. He explained Tax Cuts is not
an answer. If Businesses had any idea they would be getting
more customers, they would hire irregardless of tax cuts.
Business is in the same place as regular Americans. Business
is unsure of what has happened and how all this uncertainty
about what will happen to our country. This uncertainty is
not about tax cuts.

Most of the jobs lost in Ohio were lost before Obama came
to office, but the Democrats instead of fighting back early
on, have permitted themselves to be painted as the job losers.
Some of the Biggest Free Traders in GOP are leading in OHIO.

I am waiting with baited breath to see all the jobs the GOP
will create. Betcha some money the Media will turn off
all discussion of Jobs once the GOP are in office. IF that
happens. I am holding out hope the GOTV will stop them.
OK, The Media will turn off discussion of Jobs. What is
frustrating--Conservative Ecocomic Free Market Policy
drove us into this situation.

finish line.

On edit, I have no idea where the moment is captured on the video? If anyone has a better link, that would be great. ;)
