MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Remember those fake Democrats the GOP put up in this summer’s state Senate recall elections to give Republican incumbents an extra month to campaign? Well, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says he might pull that tactic again. Democrats announced today that they’ll try to recall Senate Republicans Pam Galloway, Van Wangaard, and Terry Moulton next spring. And if the Democrats only put up one candidate, there would no need for a primary – and the incumbents would risk losing their seats a month earlier than with a primary. Fitzgerald says he’ll wait until all the recall petitions are filed in January to decide on using fake Democrats – and to decide whether to try and recall some of the real Democrats. snip

4. Well, they did succeed in getting 1 more month of the super majority
It may be what they are aiming for again.

Aren't they?

3. No, that's not the point. The point is to prolong the process to give Republicans more time.
As far as that goes, it did work the first time.
