Candidates' resumes largely forgotten as co-stars take center stage in State of Wisconsin Supreme Court race

From a Milwaukee, Wisconsin Journal-Sentinel article, which includes reader commenting-- for video interviews of the candidates and more details, please see the entire article.
"In the drama that is a political campaign, the candidates are usually the stars.

But in Tuesday's state Supreme Court race, Justice David Prosser and Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg at times have been upstaged by a supporting cast of Wisconsin's most powerful and polarizing public officials and interest groups.

Gov. Scott Walker, Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, Justice Michael Gableman, Republican legislators, unions and business organizations are playing prominent roles in this election.

With the spotlight on the divisions on the high court, new legal restrictions on public employee unions and legislative redistricting, this campaign is less about who the candidates are than about who - and what - they are believed to be for or against."
Remember, "voting turnout and activism means spreading the word!"

  1. People who are in unions pay taxes too, are you to dense to realize that. The polls have it right 2/3 of people in america endorse collective bargaining. The greed and selfishness of the white wing of the rethuglikl¬an party and the tea baggers only care about wealthy people gaining more wealth.
