I heard on the Jay Weber Show this morning that there is going to be a TEA Party rally at State Fair Park this Saturday (12-3). It will be a great chance to get fired up to vote on Tuesday!

It’s still early, but it seems like a terrorist plot has been foiled, as packages from Yemen have been found containing printer cartridges with wires & syringes along with a white powder. No actual bombs or explosives have been found yet, but it sure has the feeling of a dry run to me.
I’ll be out all day, so feel free to treat this as an open line on this subject and post updates as news beaks.

What ever happened to the promise made by Obama to end the bitter partisan divide? After hearing this bit, I’d argue that it was a promise Obama never had an intention of fulfilling. We are more divided than ever and the Presidential pulpit has become the biggest wedge on Earth.
Rather than seek common ground, Obama has led the charge to partition off those with whom he disagrees and make them ride in the back seat. Countless doors were closed and zero accommodations were made on Obamacare. Beyond politics, a hyper-partisan campaign has extended to Fox News and any other Conservative or Conservative-leaning media outlet. A campaign that is beneath the Office of the President, but not beneath Barack Obama.
With this being the tone emanating from the White House, it’s no surprise that a guy like Juan Williams got canned for simply admitting he feels uncomfortable on planes with people dressed in “Muslim garb.” The Washington Post provides this round-up on the issue.
I never was a huge fan of Williams, but he’s certainly a more reasonable guy than most you’ll find on MSNBC. Not a radical leftist to be sure. As you’ll see in this segment, perhaps he just comes off as reasonable because he serves as a stark contrast to those who play the part of raving loon like Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann:
Whirlwind of controversy…NPR execs tripping over themselves to post-date Williams’ pink slip…meanwhile, old “Maude” Behar throws this hissy fit over a campaign ad portraying Harry Reid as soft on illegal immigration:
Following the textbook liberal modus operandi, Behar and her coffee-talk crew re-draw the issue and cast Angle as a racist. The sad irony that Behar’s addled brain will never comprehend is that Angle’s ad refers to “illegal immigration,” as in anyone (not just Mexicans) who enter this country illegally. You say “illegal immigration” to Behar, she thinks Mexicans…apparently…but as with so many issues these days (abortion, stem cell research, taxes) she is incapable of dealing with the actual issue honestly.
In response to the crudely vapid insult, Behar claimed Sharron Angle sent Behar flowers and a note thanking her for driving $150,000 worth of campaign contributions into Angle’s coffers. The classless cluck doubles down on lower broadcast standards and calls Angle a bitch…again. What’s next, Joy? You “ladies” going to start moderating “Who’s Da Daddy” segments on The View?
I know…I know…comparing “The View” to anything Juan Williams has appeared on is probably an apple-oranges thing and I’m probably lowering my own credibility by mentioning this ridiculous show…but sad as it is, shows like “The View” do influence people. At least our tax dollars (far as I know) do not directly subsidize these clucks. What GOOD argument is there for continued taxpayer support of NPR?

Interesting, a group of Milwaukee Aldermen are responding to the recent news that the city of Milwaukee is now the 4th poorest city in the nation.
“Milwaukee Promise” Amendment Looks to Measure Efficacy
Statement of Alderman Ashanti Hamilton
The timing of this is interesting, just days before the election, they are calling attention to the Barrett administrations failure to the poor in Milwaukee. Thanks.

Take nothing for granted people, the latest polls are looking good for us, but we need to work hard in this last week to assure that our candidates win with strong majorities. There are already reports of widespread vote fraud in Nevada and other states, so we must make sure that our candidates win by fraud proof majorities, everywhere.
Walker vs. Barrett
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker now earns his highest level of support yet against Democrat Tom Barrett in the race to be Wisconsin’s next governor.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters finds the Republican candidate with 52% of the vote, while Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee, picks up 42% support. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.
The latest numbers move this race from Leans Republican to Solid Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard.

Election 2010: Gubernatorial Scorecard Governor Scorecard: GOP 28 Dems 13 Toss-Ups 9 Ind 1
New polling in Wisconsin moves that state’s gubernatorial race from Leans Republican to Solid Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard.
Voters will elect governors in 37 states this November. Nineteen of those governorships are now held by Democrats, while Republicans sit in the governor’s chair in 18 of the states.
The Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Gubernatorial Scorecard shows Democrats solidly ahead in three states, with three more leaning their way. Republicans are running strongly in 17 states, and five more are leaning GOP.
No states with a Republican governor are considered likely to elect a Democrat in November. But eight states now headed by Democrats – Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming – are seen as likely GOP pickups.
Johnson vs. Feingold
Republican challenger Ron Johnson receives over 50% support against incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold in the fourth consecutive survey of Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Johnson, a wealthy plastics manufacturer, picking up 53% of the vote. Feingold, who has represented the state in the Senate since 1993, draws support from 46%. Only one percent (1%) are undecided at this point.
The race remains Leans Republican in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.

Election 2010: Senate Balance Of Power Senate Balance of Power: Dems 48 GOP 46 Toss-Ups 6
Current projections suggest that the Democrats would hold 48 seats after Election Day while the Republicans would hold 46. Six states are in the Toss-Up category (California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Washington). All six Toss-Ups are seats currently held by Democrats. Republicans have the edge in three Democratic-held Senate seats-Arkansas, Indiana, and North Dakota.
At the moment, no Republican-held seats appear headed for the Democratic column.

The Milwaukee Drum is reporting that on Nov. 2nd, election day, Common Council President, Alderman Willie Hines will announce that he is launching a run for Mayor of Milwaukee.
While I don’t agree with Hines on much, I think he would make a better, more involved than Tom Barrett has been over the past 6 years.
I believe that next weeks election results will show just how vulnerable Tom Barrett is, and a challenge to his mayorship was expected.
I would also welcome a challenge from the Right, but replacing the face on the milk carton is the priority.
