Madison mayor recall fizzles
What a surprise. The group (is calling it a group giving it too much credibility?) trying to recall Madison's Mayor Dave has fallen far, far short of getting the signatures it needed, the State Journal reports.
Earlier post: Madison ain't Pewaukee, ain'a?
UPDATE: Citizens for Responsible (I say Republican) Government claims victory despite falling flat on its face.
One faithful reader says:
Apparently, recalls aren't about actually recalling people ... they're about, well, other stuff.
I do appreciate their candor, though, that among other things this recall was a "training exercise", and an attempt to organize for 2006 statewide elections. One might think that the initiation of hopeless recalls in order to develop voter ID lists is an abuse of the system. But that would be awfully cynical.
Wouldn't it?

Hehe - WIBA-AM (Madison's own Fox News affiliate!) quoted CRG as saying that it was a victory because they now had a solid database of voters sypathetic to their cause. Now I'm wondering, what cause? The "cause" of using recalls as a way to circumvent the Constitutional right and patriotic duty to hold, observe, participate in, and honor elections??
The White House needs to hire Chris Kliesmet. Even when his group fails, Chris declares victory. What a terrific racket! Is this that Six Sigma BS he's been trying to flog?
