Wisconsin Total Recall: Democrats 6. Republicans 0.

[Pharaoh]

Democrats made a clean sweep against the fake democrats fielded by the Republican Party of Wisconsin in order to force primaries and grant the republican incumbents an extra month to campaign…and grant them the opportunity to receive plenty of money via independent expenditures from the likes of Americans for Prosperity and other corporate-backed special interests.

Despite GOTV efforts by local republican parties, the GOP failed. Is Governor Walker paying attention while lounging on his taxpayer-funded patio quaffing cloyingly insipid Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy, a beer/lemonade mix from Wisconsin’s number one faux craft brewery. Gotta love a Wisconsin Governor who actively attempts to screw the vibrant and independent craft breweries at the behest of behemoth SAB MillerCoors. Never mind the deliciousness of him tweeting pictures of his sorority-girl style drink, then following it up with a photo of his…toothbrush. At first I thought his twitter account had been hacked. Unfortunately, he’s that shallow.

1. The most important reason for forcing these primaries

More important than the money and the campaigning. They needed more time to draw the highly partisan redistricting maps and get them passed by the legislature and signed into law before the state Senate changes to Democratic control. After winning at least three more Senate seats, Democrats would have some power to force a reasonable plan or let the federal courts draw the maps when the Assembly and Senate couldn't agree.
