re: #279 terraincognita

A vote for Godlewski still a solid vote. My early vote was for Barnes—figured he would be the eventual primary winner. Really an impressive array of candidates going after the Democratic nomination. Now let’s just get the Fascio-McCheddarhead Johnson out of there in November. Baldwin and Barnes from Wisconsin—getting back to progressive state normal.

Any polling figures re the WI Senate race yet?
From what I have read, Mandela Barnes would certainly make a better Senator than Ron Johnson (though that bar to hurdle is virtually subterranean) - but from what I understand (probably wrongly, though) the WI GOP is pretty well-ensconced and electorally disciplined - they will likely do a full-court press for the General, and (AFAIK) are at least even-odds to prevail.

That said, if Johnson’s response to the news of Sarah Godlewski’s pullout is typical (poormouth gibbering about “radical socialist leftists” IIRC), there’s a lot of room for campaigning…..
