re: #184 William Barnett-Lewis

Barretts pulling ahead in the primary matchup and is concentrating on the General election instead. I think he can make the case that he only lost last time because of Scooter’s lies about his intentions. You and I may disagree on those issues, but those are what I see it turning on.

The other big things are education - people statewide are very unhappy with his gutting of state money for schools - and his out of state connections.

Hopefully Barrett will come out with ads much like the presidents current ads where he simply lets Mittens own words hoist him on his right wing petard.

Well Barrett getting ahead of Falk is good news, as Falk is too much the ideologue to be effective had she been elected. She also released a BOg-class vid smearing Barrett, which is one more reason for her to lose.

Walker, however, did not lie about his intentions. Walker made clear that he would not support right-to-work legislation. Maybe he would have prior to the spring of last year, but he made clear where he is now and that isn’t lying. And Wisconsin has been able to avoid massive layoffs of teachers precisely because of their unions being cut back in power.

That’s my opinion, your mileage may vary.
