This just in: Kohl defeats Grothman

I suppose we could wait to see if Glenn Grothman actually gets on the ballot, or whether he can win the primary, or even wait until we have the November election.

But the Recess Supervisor sees no reason to wait. From Playground Politics blog:

Sen. Kohl, let me be the first in the blogosphere to congratulate you on your resounding victory over Glenn Grothman. The size of your victory is a clear sign that Wisconsin does not support the off-the-deep-end, goverment-in-your-bedroom, religious extremism of radical conservatives like Glenn.

UPDATE: Owen Robinson, who didn't want Grothman to run, now says all of the true believers must "strap on their iron" and stand up for GG:

But, defeat is not certain. Political history is full of examples of unexpected events. Kohl could die. Green could pull out the base. Kohl could do something stupid (beyond what he has already done). There could be a backlash against incumbents. Grothman could ignite the base. Heck, this might even be the first election won by the blogosphere in Wisconsin.

It is true that you can't win unless you run (write-ins aside).

There's the old story about an errant knight who begs the king to delay his execution for a year, in exchange for him teaching the king's horse to talk. The king agrees that if the knight teaches the horse to talk, he will set him free.

A friend asks the knight what kind of crazy bargain he's made, since he will clearly fail.

"We'll, I've bought another year of life," the knight replied. "And who knows what will happen in a year? The king could die. I could die. Or the horse could talk."

The sstory doesn't tell the outcome, but you can guess.

I don't think Grothman's horse will talk, either.

James Widgerson has figured out Grothman's strategy: Drive up Kohl's cholesterol.

UPDATE: Apparently, Grothman still has been unable to make up his constipated mind about whether he's really going to run.
