MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The death of Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Patrick Crooks with 10 months left on his term could set up a spring election that's as much a referendum on Gov. Scott Walker as it is on who should serve on the state's highest court.

Walker is considering appointing Rebecca Bradley, a state appeals court judge he's twice named to lower court openings and who already had conservative support in her previously announced run for Supreme Court.

Discussion regarding the upcoming WisSupreme Court race. Rather than a referendum on Walker, I consider it a referendum on Wisconsin State Government. Are we goin to set the ship upright again? Thank you knittnmom for the ping.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

I imagine Walker’s dismal performance as a presidential candidate will embolden his Wisconsin opposition and handicap his ability to govern.

So year after year of losing to Walker and the people of Wisconsin, the lefties are hanging their hopes on yet another try as a “referendum”.

His frothing communist opposition have never stopped trying to handicap him for a single moment. With his full attention back on the state he’s gonna continue to hand them their *sses on a platter.
