You could tell Friedman was nervous when he was live on camera in the studio tonight describing his story to the anchors.
Amazing thing is that apparently one of Doyles campaign workers was going to give the "mark your ballots for jim doyle" speech on camera, but recognized Friedman and ditched out.
If you live in Wisconsin though you have to see this...there is the 62 year old Doyle poll worker, wearing a big Packers sweatshirt, serving pieces of Danish roll to all these tragically disabled people, and then herding them to the "side room" to cast their ballots.
I was so stunned at the whole thing, I didn't take in the whole first part of the story, where it appeared that the Doyle workers were giving them small amounts of money and running a bingo game for the people.
I do not know how much outrage will come of this, but it is a very sad commentary. The residents of this home had no idea what they are doing or what was going on.

Exploiting retarded people just doesn't go over well, anywhere. This has legs, because of that, the fact that it's organized and deliberate, and it is in your face video. Hardly something that can be scoffed as "everyone does it".

I live in Milwaukee. I didn't see the news tonight. Was the reporting strong enough to cause Doyle to resign? How did WTMJ handle it? Did they seem to be angry about it or did they seem to want to give Doyle a pass?

This will all somehow be swept under the media rug. It always is with the Democrats.

So Jim Doyle is the "sitting" Attorney General??
How embarassing is that?? Who's going to arrest the AG - certainly not Jim Doyle!!
Rush will have a field day with this tomorrow.
In fact, Rush has been saying the dems are so desperate to hold onto their power - they will do "whatever it takes" to get elected.
You know what else I've been noticing lately? The local stations are not following the lead of the networks.

The residents of this home had no idea what they are doing or what was going on.And how does that make them different than any other Democrat voter?
To: SteveAustin
If the Doyle poll worker "helped" with the vote, he belongs in jail. I'm sure there's some democrat judge who will look the other way, but this is awful. Was every vote for a democrat? You're right. It is an outrage.
