Wisconsin vs. the nation

,

Column A:

  • Despite having the worst economic “recovery” since World War II, Barack Obama and the two-digit-IQ Joe Biden are reelected.
  • The socialist Tammy Baldwin replaces the empty suit Herb Kohl in the U.S. Senate.
  • The socialist Mark Pocan replaces Baldwin in the Second Congressional District.
  • Ron Kind, who emulates his former boss by showing up for things without actually accomplishing anything, remains in Congress.

Column B:

  • The Republican Party gains two state Senate seats, putting it back in the majority in the Senate.
  • The GOP now has 60 of the 99 Assembly seats.
  • Paul Ryan, Jim Sensenbrenner, Tom Petri, Sean Duffy and Reid Ribble are all reelected to the House.
  • That means Pocan, Kind and U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore (D–Milwaukee) are in the minority party in the House, which is a dictatorship of the majority.

If you think about it, however you feel about the results Tuesday, column A represents no real change. Flipping the state Senate from Democratic to Republican control does represent change.

What does this say?
