Democrats Question Timing of News on Burke Firing

Democrats and even their Newspaper the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are questioning the timing of the release of information about Mary Burke being fired from her family owned company.

They claim this is Politically Motivated in an effort to help Gov. Walker win re-election.

First of all.  Maybe it is Politically Motivated.  Maybe it is the October Surprise.  Who really cares?  Is it dirty politics?  Quite Possibly.  Do the Democrats and the Milwaukee Journal have a case to argue if any of the above is true?  I don't recall either of them make the same accusations when County Exec Chris Abele decided to release 16,000 emails related to the John Doe Investigation last week on the same day that Mary Burke released an Ad attacking Walker on the John Doe Investigation.  No claims of Politically Motivated.  No questions of the timing.

Could it possibly be that the Republicans took a page out of the Democratic playbook and have beaten them at their own game?  Absolutely.

I have said in many posts on here that when you play partisan politics, you can't cry when it comes back to bite you.

Well, Mary Burke and the Democrats just got bit.
