I think the Walker-Barrett contest tomorrow will end up Al Franken 2.0

What do I mean?

Remember how the GOP did everything they could in court to keep Al Franken from taking his senate seat?

I have no doubt Walker and his people will do the same.
Drag it all the way to the Supreme Court.

Barrett by 25-1 and he still can't pull ahead. I'm feeling optimistic.

'actions follow thoughts'. The people of Wisc have been exemplary in their efforts to restore Democracy to their state. They are in the right, and their enthusiasm and patriotism is far more effective than all that money.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Barrett was hurt badly when he stopped a guy from killing his ex-girlfriend with a chunk of rebar.

Walker would have ran away.

And I remember thinking when I heard that Walker had defeated him in 2010 about how the voters of Wisconsin could have chosen this creepy, disgusting, vile man ahead of someone with so much proven courage and integrity.
