The Quiet Hum of the Status Quo


Yawn … too quiet around here. Where’s Dave?

Wisconsin District 2 : Based on Federal Election Commission data released on Thursday, June 01, 2006 incumbent Tammy Baldwin (D) is banking $544,572 vs. $65,547 for challenger David Magnum (R). This may explain the quiet hum of the status quo.

Looks like it’s going to be pretty uneventful in all but one of the Wisconsin Congressional Races. I am so happy the McCain-Feingold Incumbent Protection Act is keeping money from producing competitive choice. I’m sure Russ, humble and modest to a fault, will probably give all the credit for pre-ordained outcomes to computer assisted gerrymandering, but there is no need for self effacing humility Senator. Your efforts towards protecting job security are well known.
