Their past endorsements have no bearing on how Doyle performs as Governor or has treated employees the past few years. In fact, the only other Governor who showed as much disdain for State workers was Tony Earl. And we all know how that turned out. So far as that goes, I don't hear any of my friends and neighbors who aren't state employees talking about what a great, inspiring Gov. we have either. The phrase "the lesser of 2 evils" comes up most often. Just sayin... I don’t belong to AFSCME, and don’t know or care who they endorsed or when.

But then, your union endorsed Tommy Thompson in 1998. Now Tommy Thompson, there's a Republican. I hope AFSCME is able to get behind Doyle this time around. ... And, yeah, it's a good porch.

I hope AFSCME is able to get behind Doyle this time around.

This life-long middle-class Dem is struggling with even thinking about voting for Doyle (as are most government employees who have seen and felt the permanent damage this administration has caused). The only potential saving grace for him is the republican candidate to be. He's not even an option. But at this point the Green party is. Spin it all you want. Doyle will still be a republican who calls himself a democrat, and has no concept of what the middle-class needs and wants. Maybe you need to look at him from inside Wisconsin, instead of from a Minnesota porch to see it. You must be kidding.
