Wisconsin Judge race

[Vette73]

Why does it shock you? EXCEL and Access are still widely used in business. Hell, I've seen Excel spreadsheets for some companies than contain CRITICAL business data. This is a city of like 36,000 people.

Yep, that and there is plenty of support for excel and access. Let alone it does not cost that much and the data can be taken from most machiens to another very easy. Heck even Open Office can open E/A files.

No reason for a small Gov to waste money on a very small software suite that few use and even fewwer support.

I'm pretty surprised Waukesha would skew the results so much. This is a bedroom community of Milwaukee, pretty normal place. When watching the results on CNN the other night they were showing many counties way up north (deep red territory) that went for Walker in November and against Prosser this time.

I must admit it still sickens me that both parties are using judicial contests as politcal horseraces. That's a horrible trend for justice in America.

That's true. The union goons wanted to make this a referendum on Walker's actions instead of an election of a judge.

Last I read she out spent him 3 to 1:whiste:

Wow, Craig taking Cragfail (TM) to new heights.

How sad is it that literally millions of dollars are now spent on campaigns for judges?

LOL! Go to any fortune 100 company, take a look at their 50 million dollar ERP systems and then go ask how they track and budget everything...

Excel spreadsheets. I'm not kidding.

Yep, and companies make add-ons (such as Khalix) which facilitate the use of Excel with ERP systems and make tons of money doing it!

OH MY GOD IT MUST BE VOTER FRAUD. THE REASON I KNOW IT'S VOTER FRAUD IS THAT I DIDN'T GET THE ELECTORAL RESULT I WANTED.

How's my CAD impression, guys?

Uh... try again junior. I've already address the false accusation earlier in the thread. But ignorance is your forte so... meh.

Let's see the county clerk "forgot" to save the results for the second largest city in the county and in a stunning set of coincidi (plural) after Prosser lost the election she "found" enough votes not only to give Prosser the win but enough to prevent an automatic recount??

Methinks this thing is far from over. Your chest thumping may only result in massive brusing.

Better than "I found them in the trunk of a car" I guess.

Watch the video. The CHAIRMAN of the Democratic party in that county said the mistake was VALID, and she AGREED that the totals were wrong. The DEMOCRATS are saying this was a valid mistake and not a 'finding' of anything.

She didn't "find" anything... she forgot to hit the save button when doing the total for the media (AP). We should all know they go over all the numbers days after the election. What would you like them to do tell Brookfield sorry we messed up but already gave the numbers to the AP so your vote don't count?

Why should I, learned that lesson from you. Nothing I stated is factually incorrect. I suspect there will be a recount. Let's just wait and see.

Ok, I am not saying that Access is bad in its self, rather the implementation with excel documents.

It just as easy to make a web page and have the districts enter the data into that as it is to make an excel template.

At every layer a human has to do something there is a point of error.

Wow, no thread on this yet?

Seems to me no matter who actually wins - it is a loss for the Unions and their supporters.

Why do you use a picture of a union representative as your avatar ?

seriously, what do you mean either way it's a loss for unions ? I know almost nothing about this issue, so would you explain how it's a loss either way ?

If I understand his lying correctly, his argument is that because the union-busting measure is supposed to have created strong public opposition to the Republicans, the fact the election is close proves that wrong, so the unions look bad. In fact, sex weeks ago the liberal in the race got 25% of the vote in primary compared to Prosser's 55%, and it being a close race is a huge shift in voters against Republicans.

 

[Craig234]

This Rachel Maddow clip says exactly why Republicans are pursuing this nationwide attack on unions:

http://articles.cnn.com/2006-04-28/...-oil-companies-oil-exploration?_s=PM:POLITICS

It's about nothing but trying to permanently destroy the funding for Democrats, so that the corporate and wealthy interests can provide nearly all election funding.

And that's a wonderful thing.

And guess what? As you can see by this election it's working. Soon we will forever cut off the theft of workers money to be used for democrats, with no say by the workers. Just pure theft for political gain.

Wrong. The numbers used from the primary are meaningless as the contect of the race changed. And there was no "shift" either - Outside of Madison Prosser got a higher percentage of the vote than Walker did last fall when there was a big R landslide in the state.

News flash: Overwhelmingly favored incumbent previously ahead by 20+ points receives slightly higher percentage of vote than now unpopular governor who won by 5 points.

Clear answer from expert political scientist CAD... Nothing changed!

Actually, 19 counties who voted for Walker outside Madison voted for the LIBERAL against Prosser in this election.

Got a link for your claim, that'd be interesting data to see.

I don't mean a Scott Walker talking point. That guy is such a liar - he's saying that in another race, where the candidate linked closely to him as an official in Milwaukee lost the election 39% to 61% - doesn't matter because Milwaukee is a 'deep blue' county. Funny, that election was for WALKER'S REPLACEMENT, in a county that elected WALKER to that position the last 8 years. And you are here parroting his lies, it seems.

In fact there's a MAJOR shift, as opinion polls show Walker's ratings PLUMMETED.

Yes, the fact six weeks ago the liberal had 25% to Prosser's 55%, CAD dishonestly says 'doesn't count'. What a clown - maybe he can take Glenn Beck's spot.

News flash - eskimopie proves his ignorance once again.

Try actually educating yourself and then actually read what I've posted before letting your mouth go off again - it's making you look like a fool when you spout off like that.... but I guess you're used to that.
