Thoughts about politics, economics, societal trends in our lives and anything else that tickles my fancy. In the Spring and Summer the Sacramento Rivercats become part of this rant.

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.
