You are right about George. However, black Milwaukee Democrats have made an art form of milking the system for their personal gain. The whites are too afraid of a charge of racism to make much of their shenanigans, and their constituents don't seem to care. This is the "Lyndon Johnson" school of politics: if you can't end up owning some radio and television stations, what's a political position good for?

Mafree, would you concur in this? Or, am I missing something?

Thanks for the ping.

You are basically right but I must add that there isn't as much Black support for Gary George as you might think. Many Blacks are supporting Barrett or Doyle, and most who meet Falk like her too. Gary is perceived by many Blacks as someone who plays the race card only when it's convenient for him, and he hasn't been visible enough in the Black community during this campaign. Yes, some Blacks will still vote for him and a few will likely be upset if he is kicked off the ballot, but don't look for massive Black protest if that happens.

I know Gary personally and I think he definitely has the smarts to be Governor or anything else he wants to be but I must say that if he doesn't have enough signatures then he shouldn't be on the ballot. Them's the rules.
