Two metal-recycling companies are threatening to sue the city of Milwaukee over its controversial awarding of a contract without taking competitive bids. Two metal recycling firms have accused the City of Milwaukee of illegally shutting them out of bidding for
Roll Call reported last night that the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee, the national party arm to support candidates running for Congress, is shifting resources into Gov. Scott Walker’s recall election: The DCCC confirmed to Roll Call today that the committee

Today, the respected Marquette University Law School released its latest survey on the Wisconsin recall. In just a few shorts weeks, Gov. Scott Walker has expanded his lead from a virtual tie to a solid six point lead. A new Marquette
Big Labor has forced the good people of Wisconsin to have a “do-over” of their 2010 Gubernatorial contest. Not happy with the results or the reforms which Gov. Walker campaigned on and implemented, unions spent millions from it’s members paychecks
One month ago, Romney and Obama were essentially tied in the critical swing state of North Carolina. Today, Rasmussen reports, Romney has moved into a solid 8 point lead. Mitt Romney has moved out to an eight-point lead over President
Just two weeks ago, the battle for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in Nebraska was between state Attorney General Jim Bruning and state Treasurer Don Stenburg. Neither inspired the growing base of conservative voters. They were, to
Bad economic data aside, 2012 may just shape up to be the best year ever for conservatives. Since last week, I have reported that the Wisconsin Recall election is moving firmly in Scott Walker’s direction. Big Labor’s preferred candidate, Kathleen
Well, he at least gets extra credit for being honest. With hopes of an economic recovery fading, Obama is facing a very real threat to his reelection hopes. He had obviously assumed that economic data would be improving by now
It’s only Tuesday, but it has already been a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad week for the Obama campaign. Saddled with increasingly bad economic data, the campaign has been doggedly trying to change the subject to anything other than jobs
I expect the media to be in a surly mood tonight. After months of manufactured “GOP War on Women” silliness, a new CBS/NYT poll (!) finds Romney leading Obama 46-44% among woman voters. Mind you, that isn’t GOP women or
This morning, the Obama campaign released a two-minute ad attacking Romney over the fate of GST Steel, a steel mill controlled by Bain Capital. The ad featured interviews with steelworkers who lost their jobs when the company went bankrupt. The

I swear, most days I think I inhabit some weird no-man’s-land between parallel universes. In one, the economy is sputtering and people are anxious about their long-term prospects. Government is borrowing money we can’t pay back to prop up a
Rasmussen has released the first post-primary poll of the recall election in Wisconsin, and it looks like Scott Walker, not Democrat Tom Barrett, got the coveted post-primary bounce: Embattled Republican Governor Scott Walker holds a five-point lead over his newly
The GOP’s massive turnout in Tuesday’s primary election in Wisconsin put to rest Big Labor’s claim that voters overwhelmingly reject Walker’s budget reforms and want him recalled from office. The strong turnout, in an effectively uncontested primary, showed that a
Dane County is the political base of Wisconsin’s public sector unions. It is home to both the state capital, with its thousands of unionized workers, and the University of Wisconsin, with its starry-eyed college students and aging hippie professors. It
A good rule of thumb in politics is that voters go where the action is. Contested primaries will generate far more interest than those where there is no race. This is especially true in states like Wisconsin, which have “open”

A funny thing has happened to the Democrats’ plan to oust Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker in next month’s recall election; they’ve decided to have themselves an all-out civil war. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who narrowly lost to Walker in 2010,
