If Mary Burke in WI doesn't start

answering these ads, she may as well forget running, she'd be wasting her money.

What are we doing? Wisconsin has better people to run, why her? Where's Fiengold in all this? I thought he cared. I guess I overestimated him. What about Jon Erpenbach ? All stronger than Burke. Man I'll vote for her, but I don't think she'll even get 30% at this rate.

That's exactly where the corpo-Dems want him, even so I'm not at all certain he ever had an interest in being governor.

Erpenbach doesn't and didn't want to run for governor even at the height of his statewide name recognition...that's why the special election/recall became a weak-legged rerun of the election.

She's just there to support the illusion of democracy.
