I find that people care deeply but they don't know what to do about it. I think one of the great obstacles has been this feeling of powerlessness. |
I recall that (Clemson) game for a different reason. It was unique in that we scored on every possession. Regardless of the opponent, that (performance) made it special. That's what you shoot for, perfection. |
I think this is the first tremor that will ultimately be a political earthquake and that earthquake I think will change the political landscape in Wisconsin. |
I think what's striking here with both of these companies is that neither of them had any track record of supporting Jim Doyle until they got state business. It certainly creates suspicion about the decision to give these contracts to these companies. |
It does raise the question, is the official business really necessary, or is it just cover for campaign fundraising activity? |
It's growing like a weed. It shows that the major political parties are unappealing to the majority of the state, that they're holding their noses while they vote. |
It's impossible to expect the public to buy that it's all a coincidence. It's too much to ask people to swallow. |
It's tremendously problematic for the (Walker) campaign to be using a suite. |
That creates the appearance of government for sale. It feeds a growing public suspicion that campaign donors are treated differently, that they're given favors in state government. Of course that has an enormous corrosive effect on public confidence in our state government. |
The kinds of people who are donating to Wisconsin campaigns is markedly different than it was in the not-too-distant past. |
The most important way rights are at risk is that we allow voters to participate, but the results are preordained—by money. |
The public is giving the politicians a vote of no confidence. |
The way the legislative districts are drawn, representatives handpick their voters and have tailor-made districts. |
There have been spotty things here and there. It's a surprise that we stuck it all together. |
They modeled the recovery of the canal for the volumes of water we had in the '04 storms, and there was less water than we had during the actual storms. |
