   Don’t know if true but posted at Kos.
   GOP canvassers telling folks if they signed recall petition, they ALREADY voted, so stay home.

     In Milwaukee JSOnline I can’t find a column by Daniel Bice on this topic, can you help out?

   Separate the two out. The corruption probe has been going on for months and there’s nothing new there for residents in Wisconsin, where the story has been covered heavily.

   The baby daddy thing, though, sure does sound like a last-minute smear. If so, not only is it a cheap and despicable gambit, but it says oceans about our political process that someone thinks a guy who has already demonstrated his vile personal character six ways from Sunday is thought to be vulnerable to this sort of attack. When the “vile personal character” traits are linked to political actions rather than those in a pol’s personal life, somehow our media, and way too many voters, write it off as just part of the game. Bleah.

   Even Daily Kos has no reference on the truth. Here is a better story on Scott Walker –

   Scott Walker Is STILL Unfit for Office by Dr. Glen Barry

   During Walker’s student body Presidential campaign in his sophomore year, things only worsen. Initially the Marquette Tribune student newspaper endorsed Walker’s opponent – a progressive activist working on social justice issues in the community – but said both would make a good student body president.

   But this tepid endorsement changed after Walker was sanctioned for illegal campaigning on numerous occasions, and brutal personal attacks upon his opponent’s character. Meanwhile Walker’s campaign was secretly and systematically throwing out copies of the newspaper that endorsed his opponent.

   In an unprecedented move, the newspaper retracted itself and declared Walker “unfit for office”. Scott Walker lost in a land slide and was deeply humiliated by his poor conduct.

   Thus began an early pattern of ridiculing those concerned with social justice, homelessness, militarism, and racism. Forget about it, in his corporatist and religious world, such issues are not of concern. To care for others’ needs is unlikely to further his political power grab. Reducing taxes and ruling women’s bodies is all he cared about then, and all he seems to care passionately about now.

   Scott Walker shamed himself by the way he acted at Marquette. His campaign was one of the dirtiest in school history. Walker left the university not long afterward. The fact that Walker has refused to release his transcripts, along with information why he left, raises reasonable questions if Walker left school on his own volition, as he claims, or if there was another reason and he was kicked out.

   I wish I could say definitely why he never graduated – it is a closely guarded secret. I believe the general line of thinking – that Scott Walker was caught cheating. Both Walker and Marquette University should end their cover-up of what occurred. Instead Marquette hails Walkers as a “Marquette alumnus” even though he only attended and did not graduate.  

   "But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."

   Things are getting pretty nasty in the Wisconsin recall.

   When are they ever not nasty?  In The Mustache of Understanding’s fevered fantasies?

   This sordid effort smacks of the sort of desperation often seen in Bloggo world- on both sides.

   Why not hire porn purveyor Larry Flynt and see what his bloodhounds can dig up?

   At any rate, even IF this story was true, it’s too late to matter regarding the electio tomorrow.

     Certainly you mean “champion of free speech and the free press Larry Flynt”.

   The baby daddy story sounds like a dirty trick to be sure, but what’s wrong with “David Schuster’s report that the governor faces imminent indictment for campaign finance crimes”, since that’s true?  Don’t the voters deserve to know that if their governor survives recall, he may have to step down anyway?  Don’t the viters deserve to know if one of the candidates may be guilty of a bunch of felonies, and is the subject of a federal investigation?
