Chris Liebenthal is documenting Alberta Darling's bad week(s):
Wisconsin Senate Republican Alberta Darling "misspoke" regarding the timing of her departure from the Board of Directors of Planned Parenthood. Darling had claimed she left the board before she was elected to the State Assembly in 1990. Turns out that she was there for a full five years after being elected.D'oh!
And it must be noted again that the WISGOP is so desperate to hang on to Alberta Darling's 8th District Senate seat that it's shifted all of its southern liberal enclaves into an adjacent district, where Senator Lena Taylor presides over a Democratic lock, and pushed its northern borders further deeper into Glenn Grothman-land. That is, if Democratic challenger Rep. Sandy Pasch topples Alberta Darling on Tuesday, it will be exceedingly difficult for Pasch to defend her incumbency in 2012.
Furthermore it wouldn't surprise me in the least — and I have heard this concern voiced by more than a couple of voters — if the WISGOP means to discourage electoral participation by those southernmost Democrats because if Pasch does win on Tuesday, she won't even be those voters' representative in the Senate once the redistricting plan takes effect.
The WISGOP being nothing if not endlessly devious and power-Viagra'd.
It would be just one additional WISGOP voter suppression technique.
Devious and STACKED. Got somebody in evry point and position from the Supreme Court to the DOJ to stinkin' criminal county clerks (OK, that's only Waukesha...but she's in their dubious eledctoral corner.) Crap, if you take a glancing lood the GAB and their latest series of decisions, they're stacked too.
