2. The cliff's notes:

Despite the fact that we didn't gain control of the state Senate, there's a moderate Republican (Dale Schultz) who can tip the scales for labor.

5. He also discusses the Waukesha County mess

and how Tammy Baldwin asked DoJ for an investigation.

Then goes on to discuss the Walker recall. He said that some rural areas that turned in these recalls combined with really blue areas like Madison and Milwaukee could be a very bad thing for Walker.

4. History at times presents an individual with the choice of doing what is expedient and easy,

or what is the right thing to do. Dale Schultz may be one of these individuals and let us hope that this weighs heavy on his conscience.

6. Yeah, he sure pissed off the Republicans for speaking out against their agenda.

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out with him. He seems like a generally reasonable guy.

7. I had also heard that Luther Olsen, who now has had a scare,

was also looking for a way to 'moderate' the bad policies towards education.I believe Olsen's wife is in education? At the time, I guess Olsen and Schultz weren't 'hangin' together, because word in the education community is that Olsen was wavering.

Anyway, a few more dems, a moderate repub, and a couple of repubs who were scared they were going to be ousted=maybe we can tip the balance.

8. So, we can work with a moderate Republican, but we CAN'T work with a moderate Democrat...

...have I got that right?
