Well, I was promised a candidate, and they gave me one.  Local printer Dawn Caruss, 57, is running as a Democrat against State Representative Bill Kramer.  Caruss owns the Kwik Kopy Printing at 1733 Manhattan Dr, Suite B, in Waukesha.
Caruss does have some experience as an elected official.  For six months Caruss was on the village [...]

I’m trying to figure out if Nelson is trying to lose this election or what. The hottest e-mail circulating among Republicans in Waukesha is not the Republican National Committee Entertainment Guide, but an e-mail from Senator Russ Feingold:
[name redacted],
Tuesday is Election Day and I want to urge you to support the reelection of my [...]

On Mark Belling’s radio program on WISN-AM yesterday afternoon, Belling discussed the local elections in the beginning of the 2nd hour (4:00 PM) of the show.   Aside from labeling the Waukesha School Board one of the three worst in the area and talking about the new activism on the right, Belling talked about Governor [...]

Former Waukesha County Executive Dan Finley might have wanted to wait before endorsing former Waukesha Democratic Party Chairman Rich Congdon for judge. Finley, once talked of as a possible Republican candidate for governor, is now Congdon’s “Honorary Chair of the Committee.”
Congdon now has a formidable opponent in State Rep. Mark Gundrum. [...]

It’s a small item. But then, so many items are. Then we wonder where did all that money go?
The town of Wrightstown is getting $46,000 in brand new recycling bins. The only explanation anyone has for this budget item involves elves and reindeer. From a press release from state representatives Rich [...]

The next time someone starts talking about a “non-partisan judiciary” my laughter will be uncontrollable. Governor Doyle appointed former Waukesha Democratic Party Chairman Rick Congdon as a judge.
Among the candidates for the position was former Waukesha County Assistant District Attorney Dennis Krueger. Republicans should start planning his campaign now to defeat Congdon in [...]

Heh. Well, I try.
Just another reason why the Waukesha Freeman is well worth the 50 cents.
(For those of you just catching up, part 1, part 2, part 3.)

First I want to thank Mark Belling for the nice complement*.
I had a nice conversation this afternoon with Jeff Christensen, Communications Director of the Waukesha Democratic Party. Christensen informed me the planned program for the breakfast was actually cancelled a week ago because some (but not all) were uncomfortable with the topic. Then [...]

Despite not responding to my e-mail or my phone message, Waukesha County Democratic Party Chairman Rick Congdon must have got the message. The Oconomowoc Democrats’ breakfast meeting with a 9/11 conspiracy theory video is off their website. Unfortunately for them, Dave Carrick has the screen print posted at his website.
This matter will not [...]

The Oconomowoc Democrats are having a breakfast meeting this Saturday at Schwefel’s Restaurant, 39877 Highway 16, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. They’ll be showing some killer videos.
Dale Mackdanz will be the “Welcome Person.” The DVD’s:
1. “Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers” – there is a 20 minute version which hits the [...]
