Wisconsin bodes ill for progressives

Once again we see that the minds of many are still stuck in their old mindset of beliefs that have no basis in reality.  Progressive and populist ideas are long overdue in this country and it was to Wisconsin that many have put a lot of hope that some of these ideas could gain a foot hold. Now it seems the best result could be a 50/50 split in the recall elections.  In light of the tremendous assault on unions, workers, working families, and just plain decent governance and a decent life for many it would seem that many are still buying the rhetoric of genocide and austerity.
It's a sad day indeed that this could occur but we should not be surprised either. We are living in very interesting times.
