Legislative Democrats Save Yourselves

If Jim Doyle was plummeting last week, this week he’s playing handball against the curb.

Not only did the Travelgate scandal dominate print, radio and television for the second week in a row, but revelations came to light regarding a no bid state contract between the state and CTE Engineers who together with their partners on the Marquette Interchange gave $20,000 to Doyle’s campaign.

Meanwhile school choice advocates who weighed in with paid television and radio advertising were joined by the NRA who launched their own advertising blitz to advocate the over ride of Doyle’s veto of conceal and carry legislation.

Thursday the State Senate did over ride Doyle’s veto. Now Doyle has to convince at least one Democratic legislator to flip their vote when the Assembly attempts to over ride on Tuesday.

The Democratic legislators who are thinking about changing their vote should consider this: How much good can really come from trading your vote for the promise of political favors from the embattled Governor?
