Prosser tells Republicans: "I feel like David against the whole empire of the Wisconsin left."

Yes, this is a link to National Review, but you have to see the speech (the story quotes a few sentences) to believe it:

Green Lake County Republican friends," Prosser begins, "I hope that on Tuesday I will be your favorite nonpartisan candidate."

This gets laughter mixed with applause, and Prosser himself laughs, since they all know he's not nonpartisan.

From the article:

In Final Hours, Prosser Makes His Case: ‘David versus the Wisconsin Left’
April 3, 2011 3:55 P.M.
By Robert Costa

“Seven weeks ago, this looked like a very sleepy campaign,” Prosser said. “This race is now the most significant judicial race in the country. It is full of symbolism.”

“What is capturing national attention is the fact that one candidate is trying to ride a wave to the Wisconsin supreme court on behalf of resentment against another political figure, and resentment against a piece of legislation that is likely to come before the court,” he continued. “This is the wrong way to determine who should serve on the supreme court for the next ten years.”

Prosser argued that the court must preserve the right of other branches of government to enact law. “Our job is not to substitute our views for the policy decisions made in other branches of government,” he said. “That is what this race has become in the eyes of some people. If succeeds, that will be a direct assault on the independence of the Wisconsin judiciary.”

Prosser faces an uphill climb in campaign’s final hours. Progressives, he observed, have swarmed the state, making Kloppenburg’s candidacy their cause célèbre. “Sometimes I feel like David against the whole empire of the Wisconsin left, and the left from other parts of the country who are coming into this state to try to determine this race.”
