In the East the Hillaryites are dismayed as she goes from can’t miss to can’t win.  Naturally, they are blaming her and her campaign.  Neither are at fault.  It’s something known as the sure-thing curse, where the odds-on favorite is blind-sided by a totally unexpected, overwhelming challenge from an equally [...]]]></description>

How do you ruin a perfectly good Bar Association convention? Invite Bob Williams and me to talk about the sad state of judicial politics and what can and can’t be done about fixing them.
We told them that nobody likes what Supreme Court campaigns have become.
We also told them that since nobody who dislikes [...]]]></description>

The incumbent sheriff of Dane County was asked to record automated telephone messages for the county board candidates he had endorsed for election or re-election. In the cases where it was appropriate he was also asked to note that the county’s deputy sheriffs&#8217; association had also endorsed the candidate.
The recordings were made late [...]]]></description>

A couple of cyber-spaceheads reacted to me and my recent blog post lamenting the decline of the print press generally and the loss of hundreds of reporters specifically.
My contention was that reporters are the root source of information in this society and on this planet. Without reporters, I thought but didn’t say, the [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s see now. Radio was supposed to replace newspapers. It didn&#8217;t. Television was supposed to replace radio and movies. It didn&#8217;t. What television may have contributed to was the demise of afternoon papers at least in major cities.

The NY Times has run a long [...]]]></description>

The late, great UW Political Science Professor Leon Epstein chided me for my non-stop criticism of Political Action Committees. I regarded these creatures as complicit in the destruction of political parties, and as representative of the tribalization of American politics.
He, not unlike the U.S. Supreme Court, felt that PACs were legitimate beneficiaries of [...]]]></description>
