The Voters of Wisconsin sent a message to Politicians.
The Voters made their decision on April 1st and to some it was a huge eye opener. For the first time in 41 years a sitting judge on the Wisconsin Supreme Court lost reelection. Although the race was close, and didn't appear to be a vote for Gablemen, but more of a vote against the incumbent.
The Alderman who has been in jail and running to retain his seat was handily beaten out. Although he had beat out an attempt to recall him earlier in his legal troubles, it apparently finally caught up with him.
In a county and city that is hardcore Liberal Democrat, a Conservative Republican won in a landslide as the Milwaukee County Executive. On a platform of "hold the line" on taxes, Scott Walker won convincingly.
Is this a preview of what is to come? It is hard to tell, but you can bet there will be alot of lip service from all sides. The Democrats have to sit up and take notice. In an election year that was suppose to be all about the Liberal Democrats taking charge, the public has said in resounding voice NO!!!! It is about the issues. You have to have substance, a plan, and a platform. You can't just blame Bush and Republicans for everything.
Democrats took control of the Legislative branch in Washington on a platform of change. They were suppose to get in and stop the war, fix the economy, and get this country back on track. I am hard pressed to see anything that they have done. What? I know they have wasted tons of time voting on bills that everyone knew were not going to pass. They said they just want it on the record. They have spent an unbelievable amount of time and money going after Bush and the White house staff. What has gotten accomplished by all of this? We spent more money, wasted more time, and have not accomplished anything.
I think that this was a gut check for all politicians. Pay attention to what the voting public is saying.
