>>Byron York was filling in for Bill Bennett this morning and made a comment to the effect that polling doesn’t look good for either GOP challenger.<<
Holperin is the weakest candidate, but his opponent has gotten some unneeded press about her property taxes being delinquent for several years, which is partly true though they’ve always been paid.
I suspect that Dems are demoralized and are going to be harder to turn out this Tuesday now that they failed last Tuesday to regain the Senate, but the tax issue might depress what I earlier thought would be strong Republican turnout to get back for the seats lost last week.
My guess is that we win one and lose one, with northern Republicans defeating Holperin.
On another Wisconsin note, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that the Prosser/Bradley dustup has been referred to a Republican DA for investigation on the criminal side. A Judicial Commission is also investigating on the judicial ethics side.
My guess on the outcome of this: No criminal findings, but clear judicial misconduct on the part of both Bradley and Chief Justice Abrahamson (just guessing, no evidence other than what I’ve read) with Bradley deciding to resign from the Supreme Court and Abrahamson deciding to step down as Chief Justice.
Walker’s got some spine, and if he’s got the goods on those two, some pressure is going to be exerted, in my opinion, especially now that the Republicans still control the Senate.
