You can almost smell the fear on Wisconsin GOP campaigners

I think the Republican Party is nervous in Wisconsin. Why? Because they keep phoning me to vote GOP in the Wisconsin statewide November elections. Not just recorded calls but also live. Never happened to me before.

Now I know the GOP with its fleet of dark-money backers is dumping tens and even hundreds of millions of dollars into their campaigns here and elsewhere. Maybe because they have such a sh*tload of cash they're reduced to trying anything. In which case I invite to keep wasting their money on me. Even though I voted early and because not a single Republican was my choice on a long ballot.

More important: Every second they waste on me is a second their call bank can't spend on spouting lies to some undecided voter. Actually, I doubt there are many undecideds left, at this point. I also suspect more of those voters are rejecting the MINO RINOs -- Money Is No Obstacle Republicans Into Negative Objectives.

I took another live call tonight, from a soft-spoken earnest-sounding guy tediously laying out those ridiculous GOP attacks on Dems -- the crime, inflation, and deficit stuff, mostly -- without saying a word about what Republicans will do if they gain seats. I listened to the whole spiel, although I admit I was browsing Democratic Underground throughout.

The caller finished by asking if the Republican Party could expect my generous donation. I stifled a laugh, said never in his wildest dreams, then hung up. Felt good. I hope they'll call back, even though my wife would like to block them outright.

1. I think they just have that much money and resources.

5. Yes they do, and they know Statewide races are won by Dems.

With the heavy Gerrymandering they've engineered, they are pretty confident except for Gov. and Senate votes. They also know all they need is to make it close (if 44 to 64 is close!) to win in district races. They are hated by more people, too.

wasting their time. Congratulations!

3. Michael Steele did say the R's internal polling looks a LOT worse than public polls.

So if they appear desperate, they probably are.

If we all vote, we win.

4. They keep calling and texting me. They think I'm "Eugene"

6. This year I've gotten mailings and phone calls from the Republican Party.

I've never voted Republican but its nice to see them wasting money on me.
