A telling 13 seconds



Here is Joanne Kloppenberg, the losing candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court taking 13 seconds to answer a simple question about whether she believes she won the race that she has now asked the Government Accountability Board to review.   That self involved request will cost Wisconsin voters about a million dollars.  Her hubris is appalling.    She already used public financing to pay for her campaign (so did her opponent David Prosser) - thus the race has already cost voters $800,000.  Kloppenberg evidently thinks it would be good to double down even though no candidate has overcome a margin of this size before.

Independent expenditures amounted to $135,132 for Kloppenberg or against Prosser.  Prosser's forces spent $12,386.   Thus, outside dough was 12X for the inarticulate Kloppenberg.
