A Chippewa Falls man who repeatedly tried to block his estranged wife from driving to the polls Tuesday was hospitalized with head, neck and back injuries when she struck him with her sport utility vehicle.
Jeffrey Radle, a Gov. Scott Walker supporter, was on foot.
Amanda Radle, a recall proponent, was in a Dodge Durango.
The pair had been arguing early Tuesday afternoon over who she was going to vote for in the gubernatorial recall election primary, said Chippewa Falls Police Chief Wendy L. Stelter.
"She was planning on voting for a certain candidate, and it wasn't the candidate he wanted her to vote for," Stelter said.
When Amanda Radle, 30, attempted to pull out, Jeffrey Radle, 36, stood in front of her, according to a police department statement. She nudged him with the vehicle several times.
Each time he would "retreat and re-establish his ground," the release said. "At one point he climbed onto the hood."
When she finally attempted to drive around him, Jeffrey Radle jumped in front of the vehicle and was hit. Aman da Radle left the scene and went to the police department to report the incident, the release said.
"These crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap," said Radle's brother, Mike Radle, describing himself and his brother as firm supporters of Walker, the subject of the recall.
Mike Radle said his brother was in stable condition but had suffered serious injuries and was still unconscious Tuesday afternoon.
"He'll be in the hospital at least overnight," he said.
Stelter would not confirm whether Jeffrey Radle was still being treated.

Love is blind.
If she wasn’t actually chasing him down in the SUV, he’s STILL wrong.
I have to agree...
If she is telling the truth, she should have called the police to arrest him - not run him over. He was not threatening her life so she can not call it self defense. Liberals don't get to run over people.
The husband was the one acting like a Union thug. Have you ever had to cross a Union picket line?
That darn 3500 lb vehicle always wins these fights...hope he recovers strong.
I have never understood that pairing. I really liked her up until I heard they were a couple. From that moment I have not listened to a word she has said.
Ineterstingly enough...note that the article indicated that he remained in the hospital and ^unconscious^!
Meaning, they have only the driver’s side of the story.
Will they report it if he wakes up and says, “She had been drinking and I was trying to stop her from driiving to the liquor store. The political argument had nothing to do with it.”
Doubtful...

I've been playing with a big band (17 bandsmen and 2 singers) for five years now, and never once has the subject of politics arisen.
If anyone should be charged with a crime it should be the husband.
Dummy should've just yanked the distributer wire ahead of time.
Only if he attempted to restrain Martin, threatened him, or attacked him.
None of which seems to be the case.
Jeffrey Radle didn’t marry well, did he?
And Michael Savage would know all about mental illness.
You’re killing me here. You don’t have to convince me of anything...I simply didn’t address that side of the issue at all. YES what she did was criminal and I assume she’ll be punished accordingly.
I didn’t even read the entire story, ‘cuz I’m at work. The fact that he tried to stop her from voting just struck me as wrong too, and I chose to only comment on THAT part.
Its not the cops job to resolve this sort of crap.
It ended properly. With a little luck, the idiot husband learned an important life lesson.
Neah.
We need to stop depending on cops for stuff like this. Do something abysmally stupid, get hurt, YOUR problem. Better yet, I’d like to see a judge laugh the civil suit out of court.
Personally, I’d like this option if strikers are blocking the entrance to my place of work.
Not that I’ve had to worry about that in a loooooong time.
Well at least you’re working! :o)
Yes, hit and run at least. And of course if the husband is unconscious in the hospital we’ve only heard the wife’s version of events. The fact that the paper published her version of events should be noted. Bottom line it is a hit-and-run and aggravated assault. We’ll see if the police and DA public-service-union members charge her.
Another fine reason why women shouldn’t vote!
