It's as ok as running to another state to block a vote that you don't like.
Ultimately it did not stop Walker and the overlords, but it did wake up the Wisc people to get together and exercise their Constitutional right to recall those who would abuse their power. Now that they can vote on representation with their eyes open to the plans, they may reverse it. We won't know until August and with the Gov and possibly some more Repub representatives, not til next year. Elections and abuses, have consequences.
So these fake Democrats actually didn't lose by a whole lot of margin and they forced the real Democrats to dump millions of their labor union dollars into a primary campaign... Yeah, what a horrible idea.

Yep, and that's why the recent WI Supreme Court elections was a slam dunk for the Democrats... total Republican destruction right?

Yep, the overwhelming favorite incumbent won by a huge margin. It does not matter what you or I think about events in Wisc. It matters to the people of Wisc. Grant you there are several other States where people are watching and wishing they had the same Constitutional remedies available to them. I suspect if Fla had them, there would be recalls here as well.
So it's a-ok to run bogus candidates, waste 100's of thousands of taxpayer dollars (I though the right were about less spending?) just so the republicans can have "more time to campaign?"
You're complaining about the republicans delaying tactics - after cheering on the 14 democrats not only delaying the will of the majority - but running and hiding in another state for 3 weeks?
And that did not waste enormous amounts of tax dollars, along with failing to accept their responsibility as a representative of their entire district, not just the public union employees giving them campaign contributions?
Its a tactic (and yes its dirty) to exposed who among the democrat incumbents are the weakest and then go for blood... I am amaze the liberals didn't realize what the whole point was... it wasn't to get Republicans elected as Democrats... duh? But yeah it is dirty...

Errr, if I am not mistaken, the incumbents in the 6 elections are the Republicans. I think we already know how weak they are.
