1. Curious

As to why you put plagiarized in all caps?

2. Because this same issue came up four years ago. Mary Burke's campaign had a little momentum,

but that was completely lost when it was revealed (by Walker's campaign obviously) that entire sections of her policy papers were lifted from other Democratic campaigns, without attribution. Was that plagiarism? Is this? It probably doesn't meet the academic definition, but that doesn't matter. Walker's got his cudgel now, and he will beat Evers senseless with it until election day.

I put PLAGIARIZED in all caps because the incompetent clowns- er- CLOWNS running the Evers campaign should have known better. Put it this way, let's say the Packers and Vikings are playing. Everson Griffen comes in totally unblocked and absolutely destroys Aaron Rodgers on a pass play. This would be like calling the SAME play on the next down and not blocking Griffin at all- again!

3. Mmmmm. Not ready to throw up my white towel...

I don’t think there are that many undecided voters. It’s a clear choice. I don’t think the budget is the thing that is the major draw.

4. La, la, la.....

Evers has presented Walker with many budgets as state superintendent, if this was a copy (I hesitate to use the word plagiarized), then perhaps the information was best worded that way.

This is an attack on Evers, just in time for the debate. Tony can handle it....

GOTV!!!

5. Isn't it ironic how we think crap like this sinks Dems but leave Repubs untouchable??? Why is that?

8. what are you talking about? It was DPI's budget request - not Evers campaign. I dont think its as

dire as you think. Different candidates - Evers has roots/connections all over the state due to decades in various school districts/dpi, whereas Ms. Burke frankly wasnt quite ready for prime time (although don't get me wrong she still would have been a vast improvement over the current occupant)

And different times - Walker was exposed on the national stage as a bit of a doofus, and Ive noticed that newspapers now routinely publish less flattering pictures of him which reveal his weak chin, droopy eyes and bald spot. I didn't even know he had a bald spot the first 4 yrs!
