Scott Walker recall goes live

[Foucaulf]

Let's not try to moralize things here. Wisconsinites would have voted for Walker because he's the one that keeps promising lower taxes (okay, probably also out of resentment).

In the end the tax cuts won't do much to spur investment, Wisconsin continues to borrow from the federal government and the anger will be redirected to the federal level. The only significant change is that Walker will gain power - overpowering his lack of talent with force of personality.

I'll be surprised if Mitt Romney doesn't ask [Walker] to be his running-mate.  

Ergh. At least Palin was entertaining.

My last post must be wrong, because there was clearly a get-out-the-vote campaign by Republicans. Maybe then the campaign is less an example of the banality of self-interest than the banality of political machines, or something.
