Dems May Regret Not Taking Redistricting Deal
Wisconsin Democrats may be overplaying their hand on redistricting. Twice in the last few months Republicans have handed them what they’ve wanted and they turned them down in both cases. Last fall Assembly Republicans passed the Iowa style nonpartisan redistricting commission Democrats have been campaigning for for a couple of decades. Democrats blasted it. TheContinue reading “Dems May Regret Not Taking Redistricting Deal”
All Hope Is Lost
There was a narrow path to avoiding the nightmare Americans dread most. If Dean Phillips had put up competitive numbers in yesterday’s New Hampshire primary it could have sparked a truly competitive race to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. That didn’t happen. The Minnesota congressman got just about what polls suggested he wouldContinue reading “All Hope Is Lost”
Make or Break For Biden
Today is the New Hampshire primary. Despite what you may have been reading, this is all about the Democrats and Joe Biden. The Republicans already have their nominee and it’s not Nikki Haley. My guess is that Haley will finish second or win narrowly, drop out to avoid an embarrassment in her home state ofContinue reading “Make or Break For Biden”
The Catch Up
Well, as they say, don’t be sad that it’s over, be happy that it happened.

Vos’ Med Weed Bill is a Drag
It now appears that the Republican Assembly’s plan to allow heavily restricted access to medical marijuana is up against more than token opposition in the Senate. What’s surprising is that I think I might agree with the Republican senators. Here’s the deal. Speaker Robin Vos crafted a bill that he claims has the support ofContinue reading “Vos’ Med Weed Bill is a Drag”
The Iowa Blahs
Nothing to see here. Donald Trump won the Iowa caucuses last night going away while spending little time or money in the state. Trump got just over 50% while Ron DeSantis finished with 21% and Nikki Haley got 19%. All pretty much what had been predicted. If there was any good news to come outContinue reading “The Iowa Blahs”
