Following the current Supreme Court election here in Wisconsin is just sad. Ed Fallone is a good candidate who deserves the monetary support to mount a competitive campaign, but he is not getting it.
Justice Pat Roggensack has so much corporate money behind her that those with relatively deep pockets who oppose her just see it as hopeless. Of course unions have a lot less money to spend thanks to Governor Scott Walker's divide-and-conquer strategy of destroying most public employee unions while threatening private sector unions that oppose him.
This could have been an interesting election with public financing, but thanks to the US Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, the challenger Ed Fallone is being hopelessly outspent, and the smart money is avoiding him like the plague.
I've got the Citizen's United blues, little else can be done until we fix that!
