Poor Mittens. You would think he would get a little respect after (purchasing) winning the Florida primary yesterday.

She’s lived in Wisconsin for 55 years and never once been to Madison. Until last week. She was one of the many citizens from rural counties across the state that marched up to the Government Accountability office to deliver recall petitions with signatures, stripping bare the lie that the recall was entirely the work of liberals in Madison and Milwaukee. They came from places with little party organization and less party money, where the only party asset is the dedication of the people.
