Senator Ron Johnson knew since 2011 about Assemblyman Kramer's Sexual Assault

Ouch.


For the record, if Johnson were to resign, Wisconsin is one of the few states where the Governor doesn't appoint a placeholder. Instead, a special election would be held within a few months.

Wow, that would sure change the dynamic for this November, assuming a Democrat won.

Here's another thought I just had. Wisconsin is recall-happy state.  Does their law allow the recall of U.S. Senators?  If so, is it too late to get a Johnson recall on the ballot in November?

With this scandal and Wisconsin generally being too liberal of a state to elect Tea Partiers like Johnson, I would think a recall would have a shot.  And flipping Wisconsin in 2014 would make the Democrats much more likely to hold the Senate...
