I realize that logic and common sense have little to do with law but, it seems there are now ample avenues to have any bogus convictions relating to this overturned by a capable attorney.

The thing I walk away from with this kind of story is that the republicans continue to refuse to try all that hard at winning. Its not like the situation these republicans are accused of participating is rare or one sided in Wisconsin politicks.

One situation Im aware of...

WAVE ("Wisconsin Anti Violence Effort" an anti-gun group* funded by The Joyce Foundation) has had connections to the democrats. When I contracted to the state I would receive emails from government employees. One email Im still in possession of originated from a Manitowoc County (Health and Family Services?) office that spent their time at work acting as activists on the taxpayer dime for WAVE.

I wouldn't think it would be all that hard for any lawyer with standing and working in this discipline to start the same kind of witch hunt to make the same kind of contorted connection between Joyce/WAVE/campaign funds/government employees.

At that time the prime beneficiaries would have likely been Doyle/Barrett/Falk in the race against McCallum. Admittedly that's awhile back but, I seriously doubt that anything has changed.

What activism/fund raising still occurs on the taxpayer dime for which organizations and why has no republican counter-launched any investigations? The "rebublicans must play nice" faction is too small to seriously consider as the reason for not going forward with an investigation. If secret ridiculously tenuous connections to a made up scandal is all that's required to start then, why aren't we similarly participating, not so much to smear one candidate but, at least to gain democrat cooperation in shutting down this avenue of attack?

The one answer I keep coming back to is that they aren't intended as real opposition in the first place.

"group"= as far as Ive been able to divine, this is one deranged woman sending press releases and overseeing the maintenance of a primitive website
