Joe Wineke Likely to Seek Chair of Wisconsin Democratic Party

[midnight]

"Updated - Joe Wineke confirmed this morning on the Joy Cardin show (WPR) that he will likely seek the nomination of chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party.

Wineke served as chair from 2005-09 and served in the state assembly and state senate.

"I've boiled it down to 14 words and three messages: Quit playing defense all the time. Message matters. And you can't beat somebody with nobody," said Wineke.

Wineke alluded to the fact that many Wisconsin legislative races featured no democratic candidates."

1. Well, he's right about the three messages

The one I would add is this - Be prepared to fight a long battle. Hate to be a downer, but we're getting hammered by the Repukes and it's going to take a long time to turn things around.

3. Aha ha ha ha ha ha!

Joe really has to stop drinking long enough to let reality seep in once in a while.

4. sorry...

I don't trust Joe...not at all...

his message may be correct but he lead us down the path to the Cable Deregulation Bill as a paid lobbyist (while he was Chair) for AT&T.

5. I don't know enough about Wineke to comment on him...

but Mike Tate sure doesn't seem to be able to find a winning formula.

7. They are both a couple of walking egos.

But as someone who has been involved in the party for 13 years, I can assure you that Mike Tate is 100 times the chair Joe Wineke was.

Look. I am betting, with all the Democrats who lost races this year, there will be at least a couple interested in this position who would do far better than Tate or Wineke. This could be the most interesting race for Democrats in 2013.

9. sad but true was happy when joe left

6. The new motto is "Backwards"

if the DPW gets stuck with Wineke again.

8. I'm in Waukesha and I don't remember in any recent years where a democratic candidates

is on my ballot. I do write in, but we need to find some folks to run in this county.
