This election is important nationally too. If Kloppenburg is elected the Wisconsin mandate by the electorate in 2010 in this state will be negated by the WI Supreme Court and the unions will have won.

I live in a hardcore conservative area and discovered today that my Prosser yardsign was mutilated and thrown into one of my plantings.

Pray for Wisconsin and for Prosser's election!

If so, this country is finished.

I can't say I am really very optimistic myself, but if we lose here it is just one set back. A big one, but just one battle in a bigger war.

The problem here was, in my opinion, the way this was done allowed the unions/lefties/hippies a lot of time to get very organized and energized. Personally I wish Walker and the GOP had passed repair bill the way the ultimately did within days of the fleebaggers leaving.

Oh well, what's done is done. I think most pundits expect Prosser to lose, so if we win it will be monumental victory.

Yes this is very important. The outcome will be mirrored by other states. Prosser will win. God won’t let this country go all the way to Obama radical hell.

Pray!

Even if the woman wins can’t the legislature just bring it up for a vote again? Or don’t they have the votes now?

Thanks! Hopefully, the court will figure this one out before then.

I wish but the chief justice is a lib, she will delay everything until August if Kloppenburg wins.

This election is critical for Wisconsin, as a liberal majority on the Supreme Court (if Prosser loses) would mean big trouble for all of Gov. Walkers reforms

How so? State supreme courts can just go around voiding legislation they don't like? If the law in question even gets there, won't the legislature just repass it ling before any election, recall or otherwise?

I think they're more concerned that the court, evev with a new vote to pass, would invent some reason why the law is not constitutional. And because it would be a state constitutional issue, there wouldn't be any opportunity for Federal review. They're also concerned that any other such action by the Walker Administration would be thrown out on specious grounds as well.

But your point about not having the votes may be true as well -- if this is a decisive defeat for Prosser, you may start seeing some R's turning into RINOs out of fear of the unions. Which would, frankly, suck.

If she wins, the Pubs should repeal the bill, write a new one, and pass it. They should take this out of the hands of the court.
