Joe] Donnelly’s [D] chances of winning improve if [state Treasurer Richard] Mourdock [R] is his opponent is very different than saying that a Donnelly-Mourdock race would be a tossup. While it could well be competitive, Donnelly would be a clear underdog in the fall.”
Herman Cain’s PAC has a web video in which a rabbit is shot and killed to make a point about small business taxes. It was removed from YouTube by YouTube for a few hours yesterday, but is back up.
MAINE: It might be good to be (Angus) King, but pressure’s building for him to pick a caucus.
WISCONSIN: “Political yard signs and bumper stickers are plentiful in Wisconsin these days. They just don’t carry the names Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum,” Bloomberg writes. “Wisconsin Republicans are more focused on protecting their incumbent governor, Scott Walker, from recall than on the April 3 presidential primary in their state. Romney and Santorum have to convince party activists to focus some attention on them rather than solely on trying to protect Walker’s job in the recall election tentatively set for June 5, a vote triggered by anger over anti-union legislation the governor signed last year.”

ALL politics is local. People worry more about their own backyard and what effects them directly.
God knows I am a dyed in the wool Democrat, but I did not sign that online petition Cynthis Dill circulated, demanding Angus King declare a caucus. I support Angus King because he would be an excellent Senator. I believe he will always do what is right, not what is politically expedient.
In other news: King recently hired two aides, one a Republican, one a Democrat. The spirit of Independence still stirs in the air in Maine. Now, if we could just get rid of Tea Partier LePage, we could get back to the poliical civility we were once known for.
Why should the people of WI care about these candidates? They are only going to be in town for a few days then on to the next contest. WI has its own problems than to have to cater to a couple of clowns trying to get the honor of going in the dunk tank.
I am from WI and you are so right. It was so easy to get the signatures to recall Walker. Many people in WI have a sour taste in their mouths regarding republicans. Even many republicans. Walker and his cronies are a bunch of bullies.
The whole country would be better of if they just ignored both Romney and Santorum.
