5/08/12 SOMETHING IS VERY ROTTEN IN WISCONSIN

AS MURKY AS A WISCONSIN ELECTION

Tuesday, 7:30 AM.  40 degrees F, wind W, calm.  The sky is overcast and lake fog has crept up the bluff almost to the house.  The barometer predicts rain.  The morning is as murky as today 's Wisconsin primary election.
    Surprise, surprise!  For anyone who, like myself, thought that the statewide primary to select a candidate to run against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker in a recall election next month was only a Democrat concern.  Not so.  Twenty-three year old Arthur Kohl-Riggs, a self-described “Progressive Republican” is on the ballot against the governor, and if he receives more votes than Walker (quite possible, as many Republicans and Independents may not be aware of this issue) he will knock Walker out of the race.
    How did this farce occur?  Beats me, folks, the first I heard of this challenge to Walker was yesterday, in an add in the local Ashland Daily Press, urging Walker supporters to vote today. I have heard nothing on the radio or TV about this issue, and nothing, not surprisingly, on Wisconsin Public Radio. Candidate Kohl-Riggs is an obvious plant by the left wing, and the media is obviously in on the ruset.  Was the Election Board complicit in a cover up?  Where was the Government Accountability Board?
    There is something very rotten going on in Wisconsin, folks, and if you are a Wisconsin supporter of the embattled governor, you had better get to the polls today or you may very well be cheated out of your right to vote to retain him in office next month.
