The gaming of the WI Democratic Party by Jason Rae and Nation Consulting

This is an anonymous post from Blue Cheddar, very scathing in re: Jason Rae

Under outgoing, current Chair Mike Tate, the DPW went from supporting, at least to some extent, all its candidates for legislative office in Wisconsin, to hitting up all its legislative candidates for cash for the DPW itself. They spoke of a 72 county plan but instead they concentrated on the heavily populated counties of Dane and Milwaukee which contain the cities of Madison and Milwaukee, and largely ignored the rest of the state as well as those who bravely entered the political ring as Democrats.

In Wisconsin the Democrats are getting ready to practice democracy. In just over a week the Democratic Party of Wisconsin will be holding its annual, statewide convention. There they will ask their delegates to vote to select a new Chair, or leader, for the statewide party.

The firmly blue, democratic leaning city of Milwaukee is the site of the convention. Milwaukee, the city that is surrounded by a collar of white suburbs that voted in Scott Walker as County Executive and then backed it up by voting in Tea Party darling in democratic clothing, mouthpiece and pawn of the uber-right Bradley Foundation, Chris Abele.

Oh well, democracy is a relatively new concept and is not yet perfected. But still sometimes one has to wonder. Shouldn’t we be at least slowly moving towards a more perfect form of democracy? As I look around it seems that not only are we no longer moving towards a more perfect democracy, but rather that we are running and leaping away from a more perfect democracy.

1. Jason Rae is a conservative infiltrator, just like Mike Tate.

2. The Cheddar piece is pretty devastating in describing both.

This party & this state are so screwed…

4. Jason Rae seems to be an "establishment dem"

Apparently he was the youngest member ever of the DNC.

My expectation is he'd be another apologist to social issues while being open to corporate money. That's sort of, meh!

What I'm more interested in is whether he sees a party that has a vision bigger than merely Club Dem franchises in Dane Co and the city of Milwaukee.
