ELECTION THOUGHTS

By Charlie Sykes

Savvy listener emails:

(1) Bad night - again - for Jim Doyle.  0-2 with his handpicked candidates, Taylor and Butler.  And his Supreme Court losing streak continues.  Team Doyle is VERY good at electing Jim Doyle.  They have an abysmal record with other candidates they support.

(2) Look out, because the nannies, lefties, and goo-goos are coming after your free speech rights and coming after them hard.  Gableman's victory will be painted as the result of corrupting third party ads (despite the fact that pro-Butler third parties likely outspent Gableman) and there will be an incredible Democrat and media fueled push to "rein in these third parties."   Funny how money in politics and third party spending is always a crisis when conservatives win but not liberals.  Gableman is the product of big money buying the election.  Obama setting new fundraising records every day is evidence of an amazing grassroots movement in America.  Let's call these folks complaints we will inevitably hear today about money in campaigns and 3rd party spending exactly what they really are:  Sore loser rhetoric.  And insulting sore loser rhetoric at that, because it assumes the electorate is too stupid to make their own decisions and are led around like sheep by TV ads.

(3) Shame on conservatives from letting 2006 hangover result in putting up such a completely lame slate of candidates.  Gleisner-Neubauer, (and even Gableman) were embarrassing choices to have on the ballot, and were the result of Republicans moping around buying into the "death of the party" woe is me message the MSM has been spinning.
